Preserving the Legacy of Freedom

What started as a dream endures as a legacy of devotion. Perched at 400 meters altitude on San Gimignano's limestone ridge, Altezza embodies the very essence of its name—a privileged vantage point from which the gaze drifts across the majestic medieval towers.

Our name "Bellaciao" isn't just a tribute to freedom but a testament to the trust passed down through generations. Storied limestone caves and time-honored traditions at our elevated estate allow us to craft elegant Vernaccia and Super Tuscan wines, renowned for a distinctive house style.

Guided by an endless pursuit of the pinnacle of excellence, we are fiercely committed to preserving this captivating place and its winemaking legacy through the ages.

Enjoy a taste of history with Altezza's iconic wines

Vernaccia di San Gimignano & Chardonnay

The first Italian white wine to receive DOCG status, our Vernaccia embodies centuries of Tuscan winemaking tradition. From sandy, fossil-rich soils at 400 meters altitude, these wines possess an alluring combination of elegance, brightness, and complexity. Featuring aromas of citrus, white flowers, and an unmistakable mineral touch, our Vernaccia ensures the wines are captivating in their youth yet age beautifully with rare sapidity and finesse.

Sangiovese & Supertuscans

The soul of Tuscan tradition, our Sangiovese flourishes in the clayey and calcareous soils of our elevated estate, endowing it with velvety tannins and great structure. From elegant and harmonious Chianti to bold, expressive Supertuscans where Sangiovese blends with international varieties, these wines express the distinctive fusion of dark fruits, mineral complexity, and silky tannins that have become synonymous with the Altezza house style.

Oils & Vingear

The soul of Tuscan excellence, our extra virgin olive oil and aged vinegar are crafted on the elevated lands of the Altezza estate, where tradition meets innovation. Here, centuries-old olive groves thrive in mineral-rich, calcareous soils, giving life to an oil of remarkable eleganceโ€”fragrant, full-bodied, and rich in polyphenols. Our vinegar, patiently aged in small oak barrels, reveals a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, with deep, complex aromas.

Underground Cellar Collection

Journey into our ancient limestone underground cellars where tradition meets innovation. Our wines age peacefully in wooden barrels and concrete tanks, carved directly into the hillside at perfect natural temperature and humidity. This unique underground environment, with its constant cool temperature and natural stone walls, creates the ideal conditions for slow, harmonious aging. Each bottle from our cellar collection showcases the depth, complexity, and elegance that only our unique subterranean aging process can deliver.
