San Giorgio a Lapi

San Giorgio a Lapi winery, located just 6 km from Siena, is a family-owned estate steeped in history and tradition.

Founded in 1977 by Ermete, a descendant of a long line of Trentino winemakers, the estate spans 70 hectares at the border between Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi. The winery embodies a unique blend of Tuscany and Trentino, where ancient knowledge meets innovative agronomic and oenological practices. The winery’s diverse range of products includes wines with significant structure, a rich bouquet, a luxurious passito, and exceptional olive oil. Each product reflects the harmonious complexity of the estate, deeply connected to the land and its rich cultural heritage. The family, comprising 6 siblings guided by their parents Aldo and Fiorenza, oversees the entire production process, ensuring that every element of San Giorgio a Lapi is characterized by authenticity and a genuine connection to tradition.

In 1999, inspired by the complexity of the land, Mattia, the eldest brother, initiated his own line of wines, beginning with Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi. In 2000, Bandecca, a Chianti Classico Riserva, was created to capture the elegance and authenticity of Sienese Sangiovese—a wine that is deep, sincere, and welcoming. The Fiore di Maggio wines, introduced in 2001, offer a simple, drinkable structure, perfect for casual meals. Ermete, a Chianti Riserva, honors the family's heritage with a blend of Sangiovese and Teroldego, showcasing firm tannins and a bold, sensual character.

The latest additions to the portfolio include Empathia, the first Gran Selezione Chianti Classico without added sulfites, which brings the purity of the harvest to the palate, and Rosato, a refreshing wine ideal for a summer aperitif among the vineyards.
