Graciano della Seta

Umbria

The Gracciano Estate is one of the oldest wineries in the Montepulciano region. Today, the winery covers roughly 70 hectares of which 20 are vineyards. The vines grow on the clay and silty soil of the Gracciano hills, one of the oldest and most prestigious crus of Montepulciano. Already in 1864 the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano produced by the then Svetoni winery (today Gracciano della Seta Estate) was awarded the first prize at the International Fair of Turin.The cellars of the Gracciano Villa still contain an archive of bottles of wine from exceptional vintage years all the way back to the 1960s. The Della Seta family proceeded to convert the production to an organic protocol and build, in 2013, a new state of the art winery alongside the traditional unit which is still used for ageing wine in wood. The resident winemakers have always been "wingmaned" by renowned oenologist Beppe Rigoli, who ensured that the Tenuta di Gracciano produced an excellent Vino Nobile, fully respecting the terroir and using autochthonous vines.
