Palagetto Winery & Country Retreat in San Gimignano
Experience the beauty of Tuscany through organic wines, timeless landscapes and boutique hospitality just outside the medieval towers of San Gimignano.
Family-run since the 1980s, Palagetto welcomes guests to discover the art of winemaking, the warmth of Tuscan living and the taste of authenticity in every glass.
A Family Estate in the Heart of Tuscany
Palagetto is a historic wine estate rooted in the hills of San Gimignano. Founded by Luano Niccolai, who transformed his passion for wine and land into a thriving family business, the estate is now lovingly run by his daughter Sabrina and the new generation, Arianna and Niccolò.
Signature Wines from our Vineyards
Since its foundation, Palagetto has been guided by a deep respect for the land, the seasons, and the craftsmanship behind every bottle. Today, our focus is on producing wines that express the true character of San Gimignano through precision, tradition, and a constant pursuit of quality.
Our key wines include:
- Vernaccia Riserva DOCG – elegant, structured and mineral.
- Chianti Riserva DOCG – balanced, expressive, with red fruit and warm spice.
- Sottobosco Rosso DOC – rich, complex, with dark berries and forest notes.
- Arnilù Chardonnay IGT– fresh, smooth and aromatic, with floral and fruity tones.
Wine Tastings & Cellar Experiences
Just 1.5 km from San Gimignano, Palagetto’s modern cellar welcomes guests year-round for guided tastings and tours among oak barrels and panoramic vineyards.
Our experiences include:
- Classic Tasting – four or more estate wines with bruschette, pecorino and Tuscan salumi.
- Barrel Room Tour & Premium Tasting – guided tasting of reserve labels in our cellar.
- Private Events & Dinners – intimate gatherings, wine dinners, or exclusive celebrations among the barrels.

Beyond wine, Palagetto invites guests to immerse themselves in the rhythms of the countryside with experiences that celebrate nature, food and local traditions.
- Truffle Hunting – explore nearby woods with expert hunters and their dogs, then enjoy a truffle-infused tasting at the estate.
- Cooking Classes – learn to prepare authentic Tuscan recipes and savor them with our wines.
- Picnics in the Vineyards – unwind among the vines with a gourmet basket and a bottle of Vernaccia, overlooking the San Gimignano skyline.
