Tenuta Pakravan Papi

Celebrating 25 years of quality wine production

Established on historic land dating back to 1745, the Pakravan-Papi Winery is nestled at the foot of the picturesque hills in Northern Maremma, Tuscany. Surrounded by fragrant shrubs like juniper and Mediterranean oak, the vineyards thrive in the renowned Bolgheri area. Under the certified Toscana IGT labels, the estate produces exceptional single varietal red and white wines, with an annual output of 70,000 bottles. Today, the winery is proudly managed by the second generation—Leopold and Chiara—who continue the legacy with passion and innovation.

A passionate winemaker with a unique heritage

Amineh Pakravan, an Iranian married to Tuscan Enzo Papi, took on the mission of reviving the region's ancient winemaking traditions. In 2000, she rejuvenated the vineyards using a blend of modern innovation and time-honored techniques, laying the foundation for the Pakravan-Papi Winery. The estate’s architectural design reflects the charm of the Tuscan countryside, with its winery buildings reminiscent of traditional country chapels.

A perfect climate for exceptional grapes

Thanks to a unique micro-climate—marked by generous sunlight, fresh Mediterranean breezes, and mineral-rich soils—the vineyards yield grapes of exceptional quality. Amineh cultivates prized Bordeaux varieties including Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malvasia Toscana, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously processed, spending time in oak barrels to develop depth and character.

Historic farmhouse

Guests are invited to stay at beautifully restored farmhouses dating back to the 1740s, now offering ten elegant apartments equipped with modern comforts. The estate features a swimming pool, tennis court, mountain bikes, BBQ areas, and landscaped gardens—all with breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Tuscan archipelago.

Culinary excellence at the Tenuta Pakravan-Papi

Adding to the experience is the Pakravan-Papi Enoteca and Restaurant, where guests can savor estate wines paired with exquisite Tuscan cuisine. The kitchen is led by MasterChef Francesca Filippone, who brings creativity and authenticity to every dish. Her menus celebrate local ingredients and the estate's wines in perfect harmony, making every visit a feast for the senses.
