Tenuta di Ghizzano
テヌータ・ディ・ギッツァーノ
Biodynamic pioneer in Terre di Pisa, home of the acclaimed Nambrot blend.
Tenuta di Ghizzano is a historic estate in the Colline Pisane, part of the Terre di Pisa appellation, owned by the Venerosi Pesciolini family since the 14th century. Since 1996 the estate has been run by Countess Ginevra Venerosi Pesciolini, who converted the property to organic farming (certified 2008) and biodynamic viticulture, earning Demeter certification in 2018. Farming just 18 hectares of vineyards on Pliocene clay soils amid 280 hectares of rolling countryside, the estate crafts terroir-driven wines with pronounced minerality. Its flagship, Nambrot — named after a 9th-century ancestor of the Venerosi family — is a Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot blend first produced in 1996 and repeatedly awarded Gambero Rosso's Tre Bicchieri. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts, reflecting Ginevra's self-described identity as a 'natural winemaker' devoted to expressing terroir as honestly as possible.
