Presentation of the Col d'Orcia - Chianti Gineprone

The name Gineprone refers to the aromatic herb called Ginepro and reveals how this Chianti from the Sienese hills takes the consumer back to all the herbs and spices typical of the Mediterranean undergrowth. Complex and full-bodied but also approachable and fruity, Gineprone is Montalcino 's version of the Chianti wine that made Tuscany famous around the world.

HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

For this reason, from 2010 they made the decision to begin the conversion process to obtain organic certification and thus become the largest organic winery in all of Tuscany. Since 2010, the entire estate including the vineyards, olive groves, arable land, and even the park and gardens have been managed exclusively with organic agronomic practices.
