When of high-end Tuscan tourism may be rooted in the past.
After the Covid, the tourist is important that he can have one alternative is choosing a best location that offers not only accommodation, amenities, food and activities on site, but is also a base from where visitors can foray out on day trips—depending on local movement restrictions.
Tenuta Torciano Hotel & winery located in San Gimignano between the cities of Florence and Siena within Tuscany.
Our american Torciano’s guests are arrived in this year to live with as the beautiful nature and our 42 wine’s experiences in the winery, in the Giachi’s Tower and in our yacht.
This may partially be because Tenuta Torciano is based on the American diffuso concept of hospitality, which is also increasingly attractive in light of recent travel restrictions. The diffuso concept means that a hotel and the winery are not a simple physical building, but an actual renovated village where separate buildings with rooms are distributed around at Borgo di Ulignano a central road or reception area, and the enclave is part of an existing XXII historical building . A central management structure takes care of providing 24-hour services to guests.
In Tenuta Torciano Hotel & Winery you can find the location includes usual top-tier amenities such as two excellent restaurants, a truffle forest, Three helipadlodge and Historic Tower for exclusive events. It also incorporates a village and its surroundings, including an labirint vineyards, a vegetable garden that supplies their kitchens, a traditional square—piazza— vineyards and ample olive groves. In addition to rooms and suites into the medieval centrum of San Gimignano’s City , includes independent tuscan style apartments where larger groups such as families can stay for extended periods. Guests can drive from this chirping countryside locale with relative ease to visit towns and cities such as Volterra, Siena, Florence, Lucca nad Pisa and Bolgheri where Tenuta Torciano has a new winery
Enjoy an intime dinner on the gold ten-floor private terrace of the San Gimignano Castle
The Tenuta Torciano in San Gimignano is easily the city’s top luxury winery and the choice for anyone visiting the city who can afford it. It occupies a one of a kind property in an unbeatable location with the city’s finest tasting rooms and service and has a beautiful wine cellar and three restaurant dining also into the nature and into the vineyards. All this would make it pretty easy for the property to rest on its laurels. But in today’s world, the Tenuta Torciano isn’t just competing against other Tuscany Top wineries , it is competing against other destinations, cities in Italy, across Europe, and around the world. To woo its demographic, the winery has been unveiling a series of only-in-Tuscany and only-at-the-Tenuta Torciano experiences.
One example: they are owners the tallest, and one of the only rooftop patios on the iconic and famous San Gimignano Towers Castle, a top one of the family-owned tower that have lined the castle for centuries. They offer guests a catered private sunset dinner or cocktail party for up to eight in the truly one of a kind setting, and this is a guaranteed “memory maker” – and a space that no luxury experiences service can get. I visited, and it is one of the most stupendous and special meal locations I have seen on earth. For many guests, it might well be the highlight of their Italy trip, and for the winery it’s a simple matter of “you can’t stay anyplace else and do this.” And that is the next big travel industry arms race.

Luciana Cilemmi, deals with Magazine, Style Director and Co-founder of Tenuta Torciano winery and Tenute Giachi wines and the innovative Viviarium Restaurant of Bottega Torciano- Tenuta Torciano & Winery is part of an international reality that is born in Italy by an initiative of Pierluigi Giachi and Luciana Cilemmi, who have worked for years in the Italian wine market , expanding throughout in the United States, managed and controlled by the american company ' Bellavini winery. Luciana Cilemmi was born in San Gimignano to a family of artists specialised in the restoration of medieval buildings. Having completed her technical studies, she now pursues the interests passed on to her by her family, like her passion for artistic objects, in particular works of art created in Tuscany between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. But she reserves her keenest enthusiasm for the historic works completed in San Gimignano between 1100 and 1300. Alongside her love of medieval history, she is fascinated in wines produced from Tuscan vineyards, which, together with saffron and wool, were the most sought-after goods traded by the wealthy noble families of San Gimignano already in medieval times. Luciana Cilemmi left San Gimignano at the age of 21 and embarked on a pilgrimage in search of knowledge and to discover the new winemaking skills and products that were then developing both in Italy and in France. In the meantime she added to her knowledge of wine by attending specialised courses and becoming a master of wine. On returning to Siena, she discovered a wonderful area near Murlo where she fell in love with the tiny, unspoilt village of Montepescini. She bought the estate of Montepescini where, based on the experience she had acquired over the years, she found a particular lie of the land, special climatic conditions and an altitude suited to the creation of great wines. With enormous enthusiasm, doggedness and considerable effort, a reclamation programme was started to renew the terrain which was then used to plant 30 hectares of specialised vines. Sangiovese is the dominant vine, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Years of experimentation and the introduction of new winemaking techniques eventually led to the creation of Luciana di Memmi’s prestigious wines. Some years ago, Luciana Cilemmi succeeded in realising her dream of a lifetime: to return to her home town, San Gimignano. She was destined to buy the historic palace with the medieval tower, which had been owned by the prestigious Useppi family from 1200 to 1927 and had then passed to the noble and historic Chigi family of Siena. The Useppi were a powerful Sienese family who owned several castles. This beautiful medieval building has an elegant and distinctive façade full of Sienese and Pisan architectural influences. If you find yourself in San Gimignano, make sure you visit the Chigi Tower and Palace. Luciana Cilemmi holds regular events in the rooms of the medieval tower, such as the presentation of wines, both from her vineyards and elsewhere, attended by international journalists, experts from the sector and critics. She also organises exhibitions of works of art and paintings, and press conferences on the subject of "Wine in San Gimignano during medieval times”. Visiting the home of Luciana Cilemmi is like re-living an aspect of the past that will not return except through the imagination of those who have believed and continue to believe in this story.
