The “San Giacomo” Farm was born in 1993 for will and passion of Claudio Nardi and Graziella Pieri.
Claudio and Graziella’s daughter, Elena, deals with sales and helps her parents as in cellar as in the vineyard, together with her grandfather Bruno (important figure in the daily life of the farm). Claudio, Graziella and Elena began this adventure in this complicated and wonderful world of wine, walking on the tips of their toes, having great expectations and dreams in the hope of offer always an high quality product, but, also, remaining on modest quantity of production.
The “San Giacomo” Farm is located in the nord-east site of Montalcino, at the altitude of almost 300 meters. This small family farm cultivates 5 hectares of vineyard included entirely in the quality of Brunello and other 2 hectares of land for sowing.
