Tenuta Cantagallo has been owned by the Pierazzuoli family since 1970 and covers 200 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and woods on the rolling Tuscan hills between Florence and Vinci.
The pride of the estate is the production of Chianti Montalbano DOCG and Riserva.
However, Gioveto is a Toscana IGT which comes from the blend of the best selection of Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. “Gioveto” comes from the old name of Sangiovese in Tuscany which was called “SanGioveto”.
The selection of the grapes is the first secret of the Cantagallo wines, so much that as mentioned in the label and written in the cork is made “a bottle for each strain” (“Una bottiglia di vino per ogni ceppo di vite”).
