Producer Profile: Crociani
Arnaldo Crociani, carrying on the family tradition, spent his lifetime amongst barrels, bottles and flasks, and with dedication and passion he applied his mastery to the winemaking art, respecting his father and grandfather’s wishes. At his death, his children Giorgio and Susanna carried on that legacy, but also with the influence of youth and desire to ensure that the wine carries on to a new generation. Their mission is to ensure that the dynasty of Crociani carries on.
The Crociani Estate is owner of vineyards situated at Le Caggiole, one of the most attractive areas in the heart of the Vino Nobile production area. The vineyards, covering about 10 hectares, are on medium-textured soils well-suited to the growth of the vine and producing superb vintages year on year. The grapes are handpicked and then taken to a cellar close to the vineyard where the wine is made. The wine is aged in the fourteenth-century cellars in the upper part of the old centre of Montepulciano and in the cellar in San Biagio’s area.
