About this wine
Grapes
Gran Galateo is made entirely from Sangiovese and conceived as a tribute to Tuscany's traditional native grape varieties. The estate's commitment to varieties cultivated locally for centuries shapes the wine's identity.
Vinification
The wine ferments in steel tanks for 20 days.
Ageing
Maturation takes place for 6 months in small French oak barrels, followed by a further 6 months in bottle. The measured oak influence contributes a distinct yet restrained woody character.

Label / history
Gran Galateo celebrates Sangiovese and the estate's long-standing emphasis on native Tuscan varieties. Its style combines traditional character with a clearly defined personality, using a light touch of wood rather than a dominant oak imprint.
