Immersed in the splendid Tuscany, just 20 km from Florence, in Montemurlo, between the fascinating cities of Prato and Pistoia, the Marchesi Pancrazi Farm is located on the slopes of Monte Ferrato. The heart of the company is the historic Villa di Bagnolo, built in 1500 by the noble Florentine family of the Strozzi princes, surrounded by 5 hectares of Pinot Noir vineyards, 3,000 olive trees and 45 hectares of pristine woods.
The Unique Story of Our Pinot Noir
In 1965, the Tenuta di Bagnolo passed by inheritance to the Pancrazi family, Vittorio Pancrazi decided to replant the vineyards. It was at that time that a nurseryman's error led to the planting of Pinot Noir vines instead of the traditional Tuscan Sangiovese.
Only in the 1980s did the expert eye of the oenologist Dr. Nicolò D'Afflitto notice the error and, having understood the potential deriving from the terroir, he decided, in 1989, to dedicate himself exclusively to the cultivation of Pinot Noir, producing the first Pinot Noir of Tuscany.
