Patience and Respect for the Land
Territory & Sustainability
Patience in waiting for everything to reach just the right maturity for a quality product. Respect for nature led us to become an organic company in 1998.
All Organic
Every grape cluster tells our organic story: we cultivate without compromise, allowing nature to follow its own pace.
This approach translates into authentic wines and a healthy ecosystem that we are proud to safeguard today.


Every Drop Counts
Our attention to the territory goes beyond the vineyard. We adopt sustainable practices such as water conservation and innovative techniques to preserve natural resources.
Thus, every choice is guided by the desire to leave a rich land for future generations.

Here at Panzanello, we don't rush nature's rhythms.

She is our boss, and we are simply the team that supports her.
Answers to the most frequently asked questions
Where exactly is the Panzanello estate located and what are the characteristics of the Chianti Classico territory?
The Panzanello estate is nestled in Panzano in Chianti, at the heart of the Chianti Classico region, renowned worldwide for exceptional winemaking. Our 90-hectare property benefits from an ideal microclimate and soil composition primarily of galestro and alberese—typical Chianti formations that impart distinctive minerality and structure to our Tuscan red wines. The varying elevations throughout our vineyards create perfect conditions for cultivating different grape varieties, from the Sangiovese that dominates our Panzanello Chianti Classico to the Petit Verdot used in our Vindea blend. Strategically positioned between Florence and Siena, amidst rolling hills covered with vineyards, olive groves, and woodlands, the estate offers not only optimal conditions for viticulture but also breathtaking panoramas you can enjoy during your stay at our farmhouse with swimming pool.
Since when and how has Panzanello implemented organic farming practices?
Panzanello obtained organic certification in 1998, demonstrating pioneering sustainability commitment when organic farming was still uncommon in Tuscany. For over 25 years, we have cultivated our vineyards and olive groves without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, employing natural methods for pest control and soil enrichment. This production philosophy permeates all our products, from organic wines like the 1427 Chianti Classico to our organic Inis Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Our sustainability efforts extend to low-consumption irrigation systems, solar energy for winery operations, and comprehensive recycling and composting programs for organic waste. During our guided winery tours, we explain these practices in detail and demonstrate how they positively influence the quality and character of our wines, creating a truly sustainable vineyard ecosystem.
What measures does Panzanello take to promote biodiversity on its land?
In our commitment to environmental sustainability, we deliberately maintain natural areas between vineyards to foster biodiversity—essential for both ecosystem health and wine quality. We've planted native trees and shrubs that create ecological corridors, encouraging beneficial insects, birds, and small mammals that contribute to natural pest management. This careful attention to natural balance is reflected in the complexity of our Manuzio Supertuscan and the vibrant freshness of our Error 404 Rosato. Our olive groves follow the same approach, yielding organic olive oil with perfectly balanced flavor profiles. During our Cooking Class, participants use seasonal herbs and vegetables that grow naturally on our estate—tangible evidence of the rich biodiversity we've cultivated over generations. By maintaining this balance, we ensure that our wines truly express the unique character of our land while preserving it for future generations.
How is the history of the Panzano territory reflected in the wines produced by Panzanello?
The Panzano territory has a thousand-year winemaking history deeply embedded in every bottle we produce. Founded in 1427 and particularly influenced by Franciesco Ciucci D'Ugolino, who introduced innovative grape selection techniques in 1436, our estate's winemaking tradition forms the foundation of our identity. Today, the Sommaruga family, stewards of Panzanello since 1964, continues this historical legacy by crafting wines that authentically express the Chianti Classico character. Our 1427 Chianti Classico Riserva, with its complex bouquet of brandied cherry and spice notes, tells the story of this unique terroir. During our Gran Tagliere with Wine Tasting experience, you'll discover how each bottle encapsulates not merely grape flavors, but centuries of winemaking tradition that defines this special corner of Tuscany. The unique soils, climate, and cultural heritage of Panzano are expressed in every sip, creating wines with authentic sense of place.
What are Panzanello's future initiatives to further improve sustainability?
Panzanello is continually enhancing our sustainability practices through several forward-looking initiatives. We're currently expanding our solar energy infrastructure to achieve greater energy independence in our cellar operations, reducing our carbon footprint while maintaining exceptional wine quality. We're also implementing regenerative agriculture techniques that not only avoid chemical inputs but actively improve soil health, increasing carbon sequestration capacity and enhancing long-term vineyard vitality. Water conservation remains a priority, with ongoing development of ultra-efficient irrigation systems and rainwater harvesting technologies. Our innovative Cork Collection Program exemplifies our circular economy approach, incentivizing cork recycling. We invite guests to experience these sustainability efforts firsthand during our Complete Lunch at Panzanello or while staying at our Tuscan farmhouse, where you'll appreciate our dedication to environmental stewardship across all aspects of production—from our IGT wines to our immersive culinary experiences.
