The white wine

Vernaccia di San Gimignano Goldvine

In 2016, Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG turned 50 and celebrated its great tradition while looking to the future. For this celebration, we prepared a selected production of Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2018.

"GOLDVINE" by Tenuta Torciano is a fresh and delicate wine with an undeniably sweet character. Its complex notes open with cheerful aromatic bouquets of white flowers, such as pear and honeysuckle, strengthened by a floral accord of violet and ending with a full flavor of citrus and a slight hint of almond that lingers in the mouth. It comes enclosed in a bottle-jewel, with a golden silhouette that recalls the typical Florentine architecture of the dome of Florence cathedral.

Drawing on the need to spread Italian wine culture and a constant, reinvented creative taste, Tenuta Torciano Winery accompanies contemporary men and women in their search for quality and beauty: a contemporary amulet, with a straw yellow color and a balanced, dry and fragrant flavor.

The red wine

Nobile di Montepulciano

A full-bodied but fresh wine, recalling luxurious classic flavors reinterpreted for the contemporary era. Essences of red fruits, cherries, a hint of licorice, herbs and blueberries make up a personal symphony of aromas, and intriguing sweet spices give a well-defined, round and elegant taste with silky tannins and a long finish.

This wine is produced with selected Prugnolo grapes, characteristic of the Montepulciano area. The 2016 vintage was a regular season, with slight maturation and some rain at the season's finale, resulting in a more elegant Sangiovese than ever, one that enhances its earthy and spicy tones. The bouquet opens with berry aromas and distinct mineral tones, revealing good complexity in the mouth; its color is an intense, bright ruby tending to garnet with age.

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is the ideal companion for game and aged cheeses, excellent with pasta in meat sauce, roasts, finely sliced raw meat and pecorino: the right choice to try a fantastic Tuscan wine that represents the original taste of this area.

The estate

13 generations in the Tuscan hills

Located in the heart of the Tuscan hills, Tenuta Torciano has existed since 1720. Its history has seen 13 generations of winemakers combine knowledge of ancient cultivation methods with modern technologies. Today the estate's historical production includes the most famous denominations of Tuscan wines across its properties: Vernaccia in San Gimignano, Sangiovese in the Chianti area, Brunello in Montalcino, Bolgheri in Livorno, Morellino, Malbec and Petit Verdot in Scansano, plus olive groves for the production of DOP and Chianti Classico oil. Torciano products respond to the qualities of excellence and originality, with the aim of championing "Made in Italy".

Pierluigi Giachi is owner and oenologist of Tenuta Torciano, carrying on the centenary tradition together with his wife Luciana and their children. Tradition, passion, instinct and love are the principles that have guided the Giachi family, who in 2020 celebrate 300 years of activity, during which the art of making wine has always been handed down from father to son.

2020 will be a very special year for Tenuta Torciano. To celebrate the estate's 300th anniversary, we will organize special tastings in the vineyard or the cellar for all our VIP customers, along with themed events, lunches and tastings in the cellar or outdoors. Come and visit us on February 14, 2020 for the special Valentine's Day tasting.
