Whilst the winery is founded in the history of the family being established originally by grandfathers, Dario and Dino and passed down to Monia Piccini and Franco Guarducci by Monia's father Fabio Piccini, the future is very much about their commitment to sustainable production in order to maintain and enhance the unique character of the “terroir” and to obtain wines of the highest territorial expression.
The vineyards are the second home for Franco where he knows every stone and every plant, and it is said that his attention to detail and great care in the vineyard is the best guarantee of quality and distinctiveness of Il Palagio's wines. As well as territorial, the wines are elegant and perfectly produced, marked by good minerality with a refined bouquet and notes of red fruits. The Chianti Classico, the Riserva and the Gran Selezione Vigna delle Bambole originate from a careful selection of our indigenous grape variety: sangiovese. In the cellar, as in the vineyard, the emphasis of Il Palagio di Panzano is on natural processes, with separate vinifications to enhance the characteristics of each vineyard plot and guarantee the high quality of the wines. Each wine has its own history, and is subjected to different ageing and refining processes taking care to preserve the typical but individual hints of sangiovese.
If you are planning a visit to the area, a wine tasting is a must and if you are staying in the area then lI Palagio is the perfect place to complete your experience...
