The "Tenuta di Ghizzano" (Ghizzano Estate) is one of the oldest farms in the area but also one of the most innovative.

It is made up of 280 hectares of rolling hills, in one of the most stunning landscapes in the world, farmed completely ORGANICALLY and using BIODYNAMIC methods, with 18 hectares of vineyards, 15 of olives, 100 hectares of arable land and the remaining 150 of woodland and poplar groves where truffle hunters search for their perfumed golden treasures secretively. 

Ghizzano is a small mediaeval hilltop village, situated at about 200m above sea level in an area referred to as “Terre Di Pisa” (The Pisan Countryside). The landscape is gentle, and the climate is mild, thanks to the sea breeze, without extreme temperatures or great risk of springtime frosts.

The soil is a very interesting composite of sand and clay, a good example of calcareous clay sands formed from marine sediments from the "Astiana" geological era, in which you can therefore find fossilized shells.

WINES AND PRODUCTS

Our wines are a pure expression of the territory from which they come and have the quality classifications I.G.T. Costa Toscana (Tuscan coast) and d.o.c. TERRE DI PISA. The “Costa Toscana IGT” (Typical Geographical Indication of the Tuscan Coast) is the result of the need of producers of the Tuscan Coast (the part if Tuscany influenced by the Tyrrhenian sea)- to diversify and characterize their wine production with respect to that of the IGT Toscana which already existed.

Our reds:

- IlGhizzano 2023 - I.g.t. Costa Toscana  (95% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot)

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.

- Veneroso 2021 - D.O.C. Terre di Pisa Rosso (70% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon)

This is our historic wine which defines us. It was first produced in 1985 and since then its elegant, ripe fruit and mineral content has interpreted the characteristics of the terroir where it comes from. made mainly from sangiovese with a small percentage of cabernet sauvignon, it has become a landmark for the winegrowing area where it came from.

- Nambrot 2021 - I.g.t. Costa Toscana (60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Petit Verdot)

This wine is the result of Tenuta di Ghizzano research and innovation. It was first made in 1996, using merlot grapes, and has evolved over the years into a blend together with cabernet franc and petit verdot, demonstrating the potency, warmth and character that our terroir can express. it is named after the founder of the Venerosi family, whose name was Nambrot and who lived in 830.

- Mimesi Sangiovese 2021 - D.O.C. Terre di Pisa Sangiovese (100% Sangiovese) - Limited Edition

This red wine is made solely from sangiovese native to our region. We finish this wine in earthenware Amphora, a method which does not alter the wine’s characteristics but, rather, allows it to evolve in an entirely natural way. After this stage the wine rests for another 12 months in a glass bottle and is then ready to express itself in all its authenticity: a full bodied, beguiling red wine with warm tones.

Our whites: 

- IlGhizzanoBianco 2024 -  D.O.C Terre di Pisa Bianco  (50% Vermentino, 30% Trebbiano, 20% Malvasia Bianca) 

Made from traditional Tuscan white grapes: Trebbiano, Vermentino and Malvasia Bianca. Vermentino is vinified traditionally pressing the grapes and fermenting the juice at a low temperature with its indigenous yeasts along one month. Trebbiano e Malvasia grapes are left for few hours (from 7 to 12 hours), after refrigerating them, in the pressing machine with their skins and then left in a stainless steel tank to ferment with its yeast. When fermentation, of each different variety, has come to an end we rack the wine and blend it together. IL GHIZZANO BIANCO is a fresh and fruity wine, easy drinking, perferctly matching with summer dishes.
