Marchesi Pancrazi

Immersed in the beautiful Tuscany, just 20 km from Florence, in Montemurlo, between the charming cities of Prato and Pistoia, the Marchesi Pancrazi Farm stands at the foot of Monte Ferrato. The heart of the estate is the historic Villa di Bagnolo, built in the 1500s 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.

In 1965, the Tenuta di Bagnolo was inherited by the Pancrazi family. Vittorio Pancrazi decided to replant the vineyards. It was at that moment that a nursery 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 mistake, and, understanding the potential derived from the terroir, it was decided that from 1989 onwards, to dedicate exclusively to the cultivation of Pinot Noir, producing the first Pinot Noir of Tuscany.
