Il Ghizzano

I.G.T. Costa Toscana

This is the wine that “introduces” the estate into wine bars, wine stores and restaurants all over the world. It is made from Sangiovese grapes with a small percentage of Merlot, grown mainly in our “Santa Maria” and “Il Monte” vineyards. The philosophy behind IL GHIZZANO is to offer consumers a fresh, fruity, easy to drink wine featuring all the sweetness of the local Sangiovese.
