BINDI SERGARDI TOSCANA, ITALY

The Bindi Sergardi family heritage is one closely tied with the history of the Chianti and Chianti Classico region. For twenty-three generations—since 1349—the Bindi Sergardi family has been an integral force in the wine of Siena, deeply involved in the politics, economics and culture of the region. The current manager, Alessandra Casini Bindi Sergardi, joined the company in 2005 following the 700 years-old tradition of her family in wine making. Inspired by her father, Nicolo, and the courageous example of her grandmother, Chiara, and great grandmother, Elisabetta, she gave new light to the family business.

They make wine from their three estates: Tenuta Marcianella, Tenuta Mocenni and Tenuta I Colli, which combined have 250 acres planted to vine. They are true Sangiovese specialists through their work in the vineyards and cellar. They make wines that have a strong cultural identity and express their bonds with the land. Family stories, ancient traditions, and ancestral values handed down through the years; each wine pays tribute to the places and persons that have made the family what it is today.
