The scent of wine smells like the land where I was born and where I’m reborn every time I come back. The flavour of wine stays with me all the time. It’s part of life, like breathing. It makes my soul sing and feel closer to people. It makes my love stronger. Wine is in the very core of my body, moving. It’s the source of the notes that cling to a melody. It’s the thrill that reminds you where you come from when you’re in the middle of a field, wherever it might be. Wine is my life.
Gianna Nannini
Gianna Nannini rediscovers an innate passion and her wines are pure rock
Having always being part of the heritage of the Nannini family, a name linked historically to Siena, the Certosa di Belriguardo was built in 1348 by Catholic monks who settled in the area and began producing wine from the 16th century AD.
In 2006, Gianna Nannini, one of greatest, internationally acclaimed Italian rock stars, rediscovered her innate passion for wine. She took over the family estate and, engaging the talents of qualified winemaking experts, made the Certosa di Belriguardo one of the most interesting wineries in the area.
After meeting Oscar Farinetti in 2018, the Certosa became part of the distribution of 100 Fine Italian wines and a new journey began.
Terroir e vigneti
The age-old Certosa stands among the gently rolling Chianti dei Colli Senesi, surrounded by the
most characteristically beautiful Tuscan countryside.
The Certosa di Belriguardo, with its 75 hectares of land, seven of which are cultivated with vineyards, is located seven kilometres from Siena, in the heart of the “Chianti dei Colli Senesi” area.
The estate cultivates mainly Sangiovese, the area’s most representative grape variety, which has always been part of the DNA of these soils. The meticulous attention and care devoted to the vines is possible thanks to the limited extension of the vineyards, which are pruned and harvested entirely by hand.
The estate has abandoned the use of synthetic fertilisers and herbicides and is currently undergoing conversion to organic farming.

From the vine to the glass
Modern wines with an international flavour, designed for the young and curious
Gianna Nannini’s conviction, energy and professionalism have generated modern wines with an international flavour, capable of offering an original interpretation of a territory with which Gianna feels a strong affinity, but without altering its characteristics. And that territory, with its scents, its aromas and all its explosive strength, is expressed in all of her wines.
