Pietro Beconcini Agricola

Cantina e Vini

"Il mio progetto inizia a prendere corpo a piccoli passi nei primi anni 90, con alcuni anni di studio territoriale, con la prima annata del mio Sangiovese in purezza nel 1995, subentrando definitivamente a mio padre nella conduzione aziendale. Dal 1997 sono coadiuvato dalla mia attuale compagna Eva Bellagamba, che eroicamente sceglie di condividere con me questo percorso sacrificando il suo futuro di architetto."

"Sangiovese was my first project, and it took some four years of work. In the end, I selected the two clones of Sangiovese that I am still working with today, since they responded best to my desire to advance from producing straightforward wines to having in my hands a Sangiovese capable of producing long-lived, complex wines. I am not certain at this moment that I have obtained all that this grape is capable of giving in these terroirs, and I will probably never achieve that certainty, since one in this profession never finishes learning, but it is certain at least that Sangiovese, here in San Miniato as well, has exhibited another of its many faces, yielding wines of extreme originality. There are two fundamental rules in my work, consistency with past decisions, and humility in the process of a continuing desire to learn. These values often contradict each other: the increase in knowledge impels me to make changes that faithfulness to the direction already taken would prevent. I strongly believe that finding the correct balance between these two principles and paying close attention to our environment and to the vines we grow, will allow us to enjoy the finest possible growth for our winery."
