EXPERIENCES AND TASTINGS
Il Colombaio di Santa Chiara is a place where wine and nature unite in order to offer you memorable experiences.
We look forward to guiding you in the discovery of our wines and to telling you our story, thatโs rooted in the territory of San Gimignano and here develops itself, due to the special bond of our family with the territory.
This bond has given life to a wine able to combine the experience with a continuous experimentation and our tastings are born from the desire to share our past, present and future with you.
โWine is produced by soil, in the cellar can only improve, not transform itselfโ โ Mario Logi
