Panizzi

Panizzi is a company that produces terroir wines and wines for long aging following two important guidelines: identity and quality.

Panizzi: a leading company in modernity and quality

Panizzi is a company founded in 1989 by Giovanni Panizzi, establishing itself from the very beginning as one of the most prestigious producers in the San Gimignano area.

Panizzi is recognized as a leader for its modern style and iconic quality in the production of Vernaccia di San Gimignano.

The research and experimentation in the vineyard and winery are the cornerstones of the company's production philosophy.

The Panizzi winery was indeed the first winery to successfully enhance the aging of Vernaccia in wooden barrels, proposing a model based on extremely high quality and continuous research through respectful and rigorous viticulture of the territory's identity, allowing this grape variety to reveal its great peculiarities and characteristics.

Panizzi is guided in the production of its wines, with great determination and without compromise, by two important guidelines: identity and quality.

Its mission is to create terroir wines but also wines for long aging.

The Panizzi winery is located just outside the walls of San Gimignano with a property of 60 hectares of vineyard. Annually, it produces 200,000 bottles entirely sourced from its vineyards.
In 2019, the winery completed the conversion of its vineyards, making 2020 the first vintage produced entirely from organic grapes.
 

Panizzi: Terroir wines and wines for long aging

Passion, significant resource investment, and improvement of the production model over the years have defined new and high quality standards, with priority attention to each vineyard and individual plot, enhancing their characteristics.

This development process has led over time to achieving innovative and exclusive results not only with Vernaccia di San Gimignano, but also with red grape varieties like Sangiovese and Pinot Noir, giving rise to high-profile reds that are strongly representative of the San Gimignano territory and united by the same quality philosophy.

The Panizzi winery offers us a wide variety of wines including a vintage vernaccia, the Vigna Santa Margherita, and a reserve recognized for its exceptional quality and suitability for aging.
Furthermore, Panizzi was the first producer to propose a 100% Vernaccia Evoè "orange wine," made after a long skin maceration (6 months). Among the reds, Panizzi offers two versions of Chianti Colli Senesi, the vintage and the Vertunno reserve.

In the range of reds, there are also 2 very unique and special wines: Folgore, Rosso San Gimignano Doc, and Pinot Nero San Gimignano Doc. Panizzi is the first producer of Pinot Noir San Gimignano Doc.

The Panizzi winery offers excellent San Gimignano DOCG and Toscana IGT: wines recognized and awarded also by the The Wine Hunter Awards.
