ICONS TORCIANO 

13Generations :

Bartolomeo Giachi handed down the art of making and producing wine to his son Emanuele who, in turn, passed the skills on to his son Gaetano, then to his son Angelo, followed by Alfredo Romano and then finally Pierluigi Giachi.

Various contacts were historically maintained with clerics who passed through San Gimignano daily in order to reach the Holy City. Influenced by this religious exposure, Bartolomeo’s niece Veronica Giachi partook in intense meditation and then took vows at the Convent of the Capuchin Nuns of the Clausura Siena, later becoming Abbess Mother Superior.

Although the years have passed, the love for cultivation of the land and production of wine, as well as the continued presence of travelers (now called tourists), have remained a constant inside the estates of Tenuta Torciano and the Giachi family.
