About Tenuta di Valgiano

Tenuta di Valgiano is far more than a winery; it is the living expression of a landscape, a vision, and a deeply personal journey. When Moreno Petrini and Laura di Collobiano purchased the estate in 1993, they were not yet thirty. What began as an ambitious project soon became a life choice rooted in a profound respect for the land.

Their first mission was regeneration. The soils, worn by years of conventional farming, required patience and dedication to recover vitality and balance. At the same time, they restored the historic Villa di Valgiano, a sixteenth-century residence overlooking vineyards and olive groves that have defined the estate for centuries. For nearly five hundred years, the property has maintained its agricultural vocation, standing apart within the Lucchesi landscape.

Valgiano benefits from exceptional natural conditions: crystalline air, pure water, and a remarkably balanced microclimate shaped by the meeting of cool mountain currents from the Pizzorne hills and warm breezes from the nearby Tyrrhenian coast. This harmony of elements gives the wines both energy and finesse.

In 1999, the estate embraced biodynamic farming, not as a trend but as a conviction. Synthetic inputs were eliminated, manual vineyard work increased, and natural rhythms began guiding every decision. Fertility and biodiversity became tangible foundations of quality.

The wines, centered on Sangiovese and supported by complementary varieties, express elegance, balance, and drinkability. With 55 hectares, 16 under vine, and a production of around 60,000 bottles per year, Valgiano remains committed to quality over quantity, embodying a philosophy where land, people, and time move in harmony.
