Tenuta Torciano @ Monaco Grand Prix
Tenuta Torciano was invited to participate in the last edition of the Monaco Gran Prix – won by Daniel Ricciardo on Red Bull – from the mega yacht company Northrop & Johnson which we collaborate to promote our mega yacht events, for an exclusive event that took place directly in their off-track offices.
It was a great emotion for us to be present in “first row” at the most special and awaited race of the year. We had never seen a Formula 1 Grand Prix LIVE and the day was really incredible.
Pierluigi Giachi had the huge pleasure of bringing his Wine-School on the Côte d’Azur with a wonderful Winetasting of the Tenuta Torciano best wine’s in front of customers, business partners, ship owners and mega yacht lovers.
During the event, the customers have greatly appreciated this experience, showing us also great interest and support in our promotion of activities on Yacht and Mega Yacht.
During the Grand Prix, with the Ferrari and the other cars racing at full speed under the windows, we tried to combine the luxury of the yachts to our exclusive reserves to create a truly unique environment and to further promote our events on board Yacht and Mega Yacht in the Mediterranean Sea.
Tenuta Torciano always uses its Helicopter to fly on board ship the big yachts, or the nearest landing platform, to quickly and easily reach the location where they are located. In these events the main goal is not to sell wine but to offer a unique experience combining the sea with wine & food pairing.
We will also be present, with our wines, at the inauguration of a new 70-meter yacht that will be presented at the 2018 Yacht Show scheduled for next September in Montecarlo.
You can customize whenever you want your wine event directly on the Yacth to welcome your guests in style and to spend unforgettable moments with the wine school and our wines.
If you are looking for a unique experience during your holiday, contact us to learn more about our luxury services and Helicopter services.

Luciana Cilemmi
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.
