About the Wine

Founded in 1993 by Roberto Petacchi, this family legacy has blossomed from the passionate roots planted by his grandfather, Pietro Giacomelli, in 1913.

Giacomelli Winery is cradled between the Apuan Alps in Northern Tuscany and the Tyrrhenian Sea, benefiting from a unique microclimate where cool mountain winds meet the salty sea breeze.

From a typical Ligurian farm producing wine, olive oil, and vegetables in 1915, to a focused viticulture haven, Roberto Petacchi has meticulously curated 8 hectares of vineyards. His dedication to organic farming and respect for the environment shines through in every bottle, ensuring that each sip of Giacomelli wine is a celebration of the land and its heritage.
