Cradled in the heart of the Tuscan hills in Montepulciano, the property is owned by Luigi, who started the Vino Nobile wine production in 1996 thus fulfilling a lifelong dream, begun by his grandfather 50 years earlier and inherited through his father Santo Pellegrino, today supported by Matteo, his son.
Named after an intimate and panoramic chapel nestled in the vineyards surrounding the estate. The modern and recently restored wine cellar is made up of an underground production area for the wine-making and aging processes, a cosy intimate wine tasting-room and a welcoming wine lounge, opening on to a panoramic terrace overlooking the vineyards.
