Tenuta di Gracciano della Seta Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2019

The Tenuta di Gracciano is one of the oldest companies in the Montepulciano area. The Svetoni family (originally from these lands) had owned Gracciano since the early 1800s. The Villa built at the beginning of the 19th century is surrounded by an Italian garden dating back to that era. Gracciano was a very large property, over 400 hectares with 22 farms, where in addition to wine, the various typical products of Tuscany share cropping were cultivated. The estate was handed down today to the three brothers of the Seta Ferrari Corbelli Greco, Marco, Vannozza and Galdina through their father Giorgio. Currently the company consists of about 70 hectares of which 20 are vineyards. The vineyards are located on the silty-clay soils of the hills of Gracciano, one of the most prestigious historical crus of Montepulciano. We recall that since 1864 the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano of the wineries then Svetoni (now Tenuta di Gracciano della Seta) won a prize at the international fair in Turin.Even today in the old cellars of the villa of Gracciano various bottles of historical vintages are preserved. Giorgio della Seta who had worked for many years as a "Manager" of a multinational company in various countries abroad, returned to Tuscany, decided to devote himself to the family business, renewing the vineyards and building a new wine-making cellar in 2013 which has thus joined the historic cellar which remains operational for aging in wood. The company has always been run by renowned winemakers (such as Nicolò d'Afflitto from 1985 and from 1995 by Beppe Rigoli) who have contributed to making the Tenuta di Gracciano produce the excellent Vino Nobile di Gracciano della Seta, in the absolute respect for the terroir and enhancing the native vines.
