Arrigoni Wine Family - Pietraserena

San Gimignano is a hill town in Tuscany located southwest of Florence. Surrounded by 13th-century walls, the centerpiece of its historic center is Piazza della Cisterna, a triangular square lined with medieval houses. Prominent in the skyline of medieval towers is the stone Torre Grossa. In San Gimignano, Pietraserena spreads out on both sides of the hill in a north-northeast direction.

Since 1966, the farm estates have experienced a constant territorial expansion, starting from the initial 7 hectares or so to reach the current extension of about 42 hectares. Being in the heart of the municipality of San Gimignano, the main grape variety at the beginning was naturally Vernaccia di San Gimignano, the first wine to obtain DOC status in Italy. Later Sangiovese was planted, the prince vine of Tuscany and all of Italy, and which in our estate gives life to our most representative "crus," Caulio and Poggio al Vento.

Each vineyard, delimited and circumscribed, has its own distinctive name, from which we draw the grapes that are vinified separately. When the wine is obtained, the various blends are made, which always go to characterize our bottles.
