Camigliano has a very long history. Known in Etruscan times, it was a rural neighborhood of some size in the Middle Ages, which subsequently obtained some economic independence as a typical, small sharecropping property.
The business was acquired in 1957 by the Ghezzi family, and the current proprietor, Gualtiero Ghezzi, has put a great deal of energy into modernizing the company, which now comprises 530 hectares, 90 of which are vineyards.
He has planted new Brunello vineyards (50 hectares) and built a new wine cellar, completely underground, the construction of which took place at the same time as the restoration of the town – one of the “ancient Tuscan towns”.
Each year, the company produces about 330,000 bottles (Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, IGT Toscana “Poderuccio,” Cabernet Sauvignon St. Antimo “Campo ai Mori”, Moscadello di Montalcino, Chianti Colli Senesi, “Borgone” table wine), which are exported to more than 30 countries, using the best selection of grapes, with a limited per hectare yield.
