Located just outside Florence, Tenuta San Vito is a pioneer of organic winemaking in Tuscany, having converted to organic farming as early as 1985—long before it became an industry standard. The estate spans over 126 hectares, with vineyards interwoven among olive groves and dense woodland, creating a thriving ecosystem that enhances the health of the vines. Their philosophy is rooted in sustainability, with a deep respect for the land that translates into wines of purity and expression.
San Vito’s vineyards sit on rolling hills with a mix of clay, limestone, and sandstone soils—classic Tuscan terroir that provides structure and depth to their wines. The estate benefits from warm days and cool nights, allowing for optimal grape ripening while maintaining freshness and acidity. The natural biodiversity surrounding the vineyards fosters a balanced ecosystem, reducing the need for chemical intervention.
San Vito specializes in native Tuscan varietals, particularly Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Trebbiano. Their Chianti wines highlight the elegance and structure of the region, while their Vin Santo—an amber-hued dessert wine aged for years in small caratelli barrels—stands out as a beautiful expression of old-world Tuscan winemaking.
