giacomo baraldo

Giacomo Baraldo is redefining what Sangiovese can be, crafting wines with a deep connection to Tuscany’s land. His single-site Sangiovese crus, like il Pozzone and Caccialupi are all about elegance, with a mineral backbone that gives them incredible depth. His Chardonnay, planted on Burgundian-style limestone soils, and his Grechetto orange wine are standout examples of what this talented winemaker can do.
