Among the most prestigious labels is Vernaccia di San Gimignano. First produced in the 1200s, it was extolled by Dante, Michelangelo and Boccaccio, and enjoyed at the Medici Court, where it was sent as a gift to the Pope.
One of the historic red wines is ‘Millanni’, created to celebrate the estate’s 1000 years of history.
