Luxury wines made in Italy
Pierluigi Giachi doesn’t like to call himself a Winemaker but a Countryman of Tuscany.
For this reason, he decided to create his own labels, using different materials, from aged paper to leather labels, to ensure the highest level of quality,an “Exclusive” collection for demanding people.
The concept and the philosophy of “Handmade” and “Made in Italy” has always been the philosophy and the idea of collections produced with the soul, where the attention on“Quality”, “Excellence”, “Exclusivity”and “Originality” are the success of the Winery Tenuta Torciano.
Alongside Pierluigi Giachi, the company sees the constant presence of Mrs. Luciana Cilemmi Giachi and son Emanuele Bartolomeo Giachi: as marketing manager and head of research and development.
The customers of Tenuta Torciano is represented by demanding winelovers seeking true culture of Tuscan quality and exclusive Italian product, you can find it only in the wine cellar at San Gimignano, where you can live the Italian style, but above the value to the Tuscan tradition.
The Tenuta Torciano is a true “shopping experience” linked not only to the environment, but also to the quality of the exclusive Collections.
The 1996 and 1997 Tenuta Torciano, which was bottled in September 2000 and 2001, combining measured power, extraordinary elegance, and admirable complexity! The color is opaque purple.
The wine offers extraordinarily pure notes of blackberries, cassis and flowers, gorgeous sweetness, a seamless personality, and full body, with nothing out of place.
The fruit is exceptionally sweet and pure, and there are layers of flavor in the mouth. I do believe this wine will develop an extraordinary perfume, and possess a high level of richness.
Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040.
2012 Brunello di Montalcino is a phenomenal achievement and a wine that captures not only the spirit of this classic vintage.
It starts slow and shy, but then blossoms to beautiful intensity and aromatic brilliance. It delivers a very authentic and genuine read of Sangiovese with wild berry aromas followed by pressed violets, wet earth, tobacco and lightly toasted spice.
The bouquet is seamless and very long in persistence.
The same holds true for the mouthfeel. The wine delivers a fine and silky texture with a good dose of power and personality at the rear.
The 2012 Super Tuscan Tenuta Torciano is a blend of Merlot and Sangiovese picked between September 27 and October 17.
It has a rather conservative with raspberry, fresh strawberry, tobacco and light licorice scents.This inky purple-colored wine is ripe, progressively styled, big, rich, thick and juicy. In other words.
No doubt the high percentage of Merlot in the final blend gives this wine a fleshiness and succulence unusual.
Rich, pure and full, it should hit its prime in another 4-5 years and last at least two or three decades.

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.
