Description

History
Situated in Cecione, Panzano (350–500 m elevation), this estate was taken over by Renzo Marinai in 1996 and quickly converted to organic farming, guided by enologist Giovanni Cappelli. The vineyards, meticulously tended at low yields, produce grapes of remarkable quality. Fermentation and aging are carried out in traditional large casks and cement tanks within an ancient medieval cellar, focusing on respect for varietal purity.

Grape varieties
95% Sangiovese, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon 

Vinification
Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel with 20-day maceration. Aged for 10–12 months in large wooden casks, followed by 3 months in bottle 

Alcohol content
13.5–14% 

Tasting notes
Bright ruby red. Delicate aromas of cherry, strawberry, floral nuances, and balsamic hints. Dry, full-bodied, and savory on the palate with soft tannins and good length.

Suggested pairings
Excellent with grilled red meats, roasts, game, and aged cheeses. Also complements traditional Tuscan cuisine beautifully.

Renzo Marinai

The Renzo Marinai estate, called San Martino a Cecione, takes its name from the nearby ancient church of San Martino. The oldest structure on the farm is a watchtower dating back to 1163 AD. which was part of the defenses of the Florentines against their traditional enemies, the Sienese. Renzo Marinai himself entered the estate in 1996 and with the support of the winemaker Giovanni Cappelli, completely reorganized its operations, transforming it into a fully organic farm. This was a logical step as the farm had long been run along natural and biodynamic lines, and in some respects even provident, as it would anticipate a trend followed by many in later years. After almost two decades in office, Renzo Marinai has sold the majority of the farm to Tom Heidman, a Dutch citizen with a passion for wine and Italy and a background in the food and wine world.
