Tenuta di Valgiano
テヌータ・ディ・ヴァルジャーノ
A benchmark for biodynamic excellence in the hills of Lucca.
Overlooking the city of Lucca in northern Tuscany, Tenuta di Valgiano is one of Italy's pioneering biodynamic estates. Purchased in 1993 by Moreno Petrini and Laura Di Collobiano and shaped by the expertise of winemaker Saverio Petrilli, the property spans roughly 55 hectares, with 16 hectares under vine surrounded by protected forestland. Certified organic since the mid-1990s and biodynamic (Demeter) since the early 2000s, the estate dry-farms Sangiovese, Merlot, Syrah, Ciliegiolo, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia to produce elegant, terroir-driven wines within the Colline Lucchesi appellation.
