Sancaba

Falstaff Wine Guide Italy 2025

In 2011, Carlo Franchetti acquired a plot of land near San Casciano dei Bagni, where he discovered a small Pinot Noir vineyard that had been planted by the previous owner. The very first vinification in 2012, which was carried out entirely on his own, revealed a wine with great character and certain ageing potential. After long phases of research and experimentation, the annual production volume was increased to around 6000 bottles. The name SANCABA is an acronym invented by Carlo Franchetti as a tribute to the town of San Casciano dei Bagni.
