The Producer

Pinino Wines

Whilst the estate dates back to 1874 it was in 2003 that the four friends; Andrea and Hannes Gamon and Max and Silvia Hernandez purchased the property in the heart of Montalcino, Tuscany with the simple philosophy to create wines in the traditional methods. They have always had the clear objective to produce leading Italian wines at competitive prices and we can happily state that they have achieved this.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Sangiovese

Sangiovese is Italy's most important and widely planted grape varietal. Traditionally it is famous in all of the sub-regions of Tuscany particularly so in Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Sangiovese is planted in almost all of the regions across Italy where it makes everything from savoury and spicy reds to supple and black fruit bombs. 

 

--------THE REGION--------

Tuscany

Tuscany is a wine region in central Italy. Depending on how much you know about Italian wine it is often one of the most known or talked about wine regions thanks to the fame of the mighty sub-region: Chianti. Tuscany is home to many a fruity and spicy red wine often made from the grape: Sangiovese.
