Giampaolo Chiettini

Giampaolo Chiettini is a seasoned oenologist with extensive experience in the wine industry. Trained in Trentino, he moved to Tuscany at a young age and worked alongside Paolo De Marchi at Isole e Olena, where he developed a profound understanding of indigenous grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Malvasia del Chianti, and Trebbiano. In addition to his work at La Vigna di San Martino ad Argiano, Chiettini operates as a consultant oenologist throughout Italy and Europe, bringing his expertise to various wine-producing regions.

The Chianti Classico region, located in the heart of Tuscany between Florence and Siena, is renowned for its rolling hills, diverse soils, and favorable climate, all of which contribute to the production of some of Italy's most esteemed wines. The region's history of winemaking dates back to the Etruscan period, and over the centuries, it has evolved into a symbol of Italian viticulture. The primary grape variety cultivated here is Sangiovese, known for producing wines with bright acidity, firm tannins, and flavors ranging from red cherries to earthy undertones. The combination of traditional practices and modern techniques has allowed Chianti Classico to maintain its reputation for quality and authenticity in the global wine market.​
