The estate has always maintained harmony between humankind and the land. Il Conventino creates products that fully reflect the uniqueness of the terroir and the characteristics of each individual vintage, drawing inspiration from tradition and the purity of the fruit. A fresh and fruity glass of wine, with its captivating purity, transports us to the Tuscan hills, where Sangiovese reigns supreme.The foundational idea of the company has always been to appreciate the complexity and rhythm of nature, celebrating biodiversity. For this reason, today, they can proudly say that they have been working organically for over 30 years. Organic farming is very simple in its natural essence and fascinating in its beauty, but it is not always an easy choice. Cultivating in a more natural way means focusing on prevention rather than cure. Therefore, even in the most challenging years, they manage to harvest healthy grapes, and most importantly, grapes that will become a truly noble wine, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Additional information: Note: please notify us of any allergies/dietary restrictions at the time of registration.
