Il Palagio has the aim to concentrate their work on native grapes. The “Vernaccia di San Gimignano” and the “Chianti Colli Senesi” are created according to the rules, but specialy with the mission to reflect the taste of this land. The vineyards cover almost 100 hectares (233 acres), however the estate is substantially larger (350 hectares). The vines grow in altitude of aprox. 300 meters (1000 feet) which matched with the local soil, creates the ideal microclimate for the Tuscan wines.
