TENUTA SAN JACOPO
Three friends turned this magnificent 18th century villa with a vineyard and olive grove into a working winery with a goal of crafting great wines.
Three farms, an 18th century villa, charming farmhouses and a winery on beautiful hill with richly carved avenues of cypress and pine – that is what brought Vanni Milan, Carlo Cattaneo and Marco together to create “great” wines that are elegant and respectful of local vineyards but treated with modern technology extolling the great, natural vocation of the territory.
Between the classic Chianti and the Valdarno, 130 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and woods.
A farm that regain their ancient prestige thanks to the long work of our family, that has strongly wanted to recreate a welcoming but from environment.
Still tied to the peasant tradition of this slice of Tuscany.
