Grignano is one of just 20 wineries in Chianti Rufina, an area known to produce distinctive, elegant, and age worthy wines due to its high elevation and limestone-rich soils. The Inghirami family owns and farms 54 hectares of certified-organic vineyards, with the property extending further to include olive groves, organic farmland, and extensive woods rich in truffles and mushrooms. Grignano sits in the center of the appellation, on the hilltop across from Nipozzano and Selvapiana.

The Grignano estate began in the middle ages and was once the personal property of Catherine de Medici in the 15th century. The Inghirami family, also one of the finest shirt makers in Italy, have been the custodians for over 50 years.

Young Tommaso Inghirami is leading Grignano and his family's legacy into the future. "Thinking locally and acting globally", he is bringing back ancient traditions but with modernized labels that depict the windows and clocktower of the estate. He is producing a lower alcohol, fresher style of Chianti incorporating more Tuscan oak, terracotta and cement while maintaining low yields and the highest quality.
