About Palagetto Winery
The Niccolai family—especially Luano Niccolai, founder of Tenute Niccolai and the heart of the Palagetto Agricultural Company—has deep roots in San Gimignano. From the first vineyards in Santa Chiara, where the winery still stands today, the estate has steadily expanded to over 60 hectares, primarily cultivated with vines and olive trees.
San Gimignano is home to a wine that breaks Tuscany’s stereotype as a land of only red wines: Vernaccia di San Gimignano, the elegant “white lady” among noble reds. This historic grape variety, which lends its name to the local DOCG, has been documented since the 13th century and is famously the only wine mentioned by Dante in the Divine Comedy. Savory, mineral, fresh, and long-lived, Vernaccia perfectly embodies the character of the people and the land it comes from.
Alongside this iconic white wine, Palagetto offers an extensive selection of labels—each one the result of the family’s creativity and the expertise of the distinguished collaborators who have supported the estate over the years.
