Panizzi is a renowned Italian winery celebrated for its premium Vernaccia di San Gimignano, a historic Tuscan white grape variety. Established in 1979 by Giovanni Panizzi, the estate has played a pivotal role in elevating Vernaccia’s reputation, focusing on expressing its terroir and aging potential.
The winery owns several vineyards across San Gimignano, employing organic and sustainable practices, with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Panizzi's commitment to environmental stewardship and vine longevity is evident, with some vines reaching advanced ages for deeper roots and better quality. Their flagship wines, including Riserva and Riserva Storica, exemplify age-worthiness, often matured for years to develop complexity and elegance.
Beyond Vernaccia, Panizzi explores other varietals like Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir, with experimental plantings of Traminer and Sauvignon Blanc on Mount Amiata's slopes. The estate remains dedicated to producing wines that blend tradition with innovation, emphasizing quality, identity, and terroir expression. Today, under the stewardship of Simone Niccolai, Panizzi continues its legacy of pioneering Tuscan wines of distinction.
