Pierluigi Giachi doesn't call himself a winemaker. He calls himself a countryman of Tuscany. That's why he creates his own labels by hand, using materials from aged paper to leather, for an "Exclusive" collection made for demanding people.
What Makes a Torciano Label Different?
Quality, Excellence, Exclusivity and Originality are the philosophy behind every collection at the Winery Tenuta Torciano. Each label is made by hand, with the same care since the idea began.
Pierluigi Giachi runs the estate alongside his wife, Mrs. Luciana Cilemmi Giachi, marketing manager, and their son, Emanuele Bartolomeo Giachi, head of research and development.

What Does the 1996 and 1997 Tenuta Torciano Taste Like?
The 1996 and 1997 Tenuta Torciano, bottled in September 2000 and 2001, combines measured power, extraordinary elegance and admirable complexity. The color is opaque purple.
It offers extraordinarily pure notes of blackberries, cassis and flowers, with a gorgeous sweetness, a seamless personality and full body, nothing out of place. The fruit is exceptionally sweet and pure, with layers of flavor in the mouth. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040.
What to Expect from the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino?
The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino is a phenomenal achievement that captures the spirit of this classic vintage. It starts slow and shy, then blossoms into 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, and the mouthfeel matches it: a fine, silky texture with a good dose of power and personality at the rear.
What's in the 2012 Super Tuscan Tenuta Torciano?
The 2012 Super Tuscan Tenuta Torciano is a blend of Merlot and Sangiovese, picked between September 27 and October 17. It has raspberry, fresh strawberry, tobacco and light licorice scents.
This inky purple-colored wine is ripe, progressively styled, big, rich, thick and juicy. The high percentage of Merlot in the final blend gives it an unusual fleshiness and succulence. Rich, pure and full, it should hit its prime in another 4-5 years and last at least two or three decades.
