Preserving the Legacy of Freedom

What began as a dream endures as a legacy of devotion. Perched 400 meters above sea level on the limestone ridge of San Gimignano, Altezza embodies the very essence of its nameโ€”a privileged observation point from which the gaze spans across the majestic medieval towers.

Our name "Bellaciao" is not only a tribute to freedom but a testament to trust passed down through generations. The historic limestone caves and ancient traditions of our elevated estate allow us to create elegant Vernaccia and Supertuscan wines, renowned for a distinctive house style.

Guided by an infinite quest for the pinnacle of excellence, we are proudly committed to preserving this enchanting place and its winemaking legacy through the centuries.

Taste history with Altezza's iconic wines

Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Chardonnay

The first Italian white wine to receive DOCG status, our Vernaccia embodies centuries of Tuscan winemaking tradition. From the sandy, fossil-rich soils at 400 meters elevation, these wines possess a captivating combination of elegance, brilliance, and complexity. With aromas of citrus, white flowers, and an unmistakable mineral touch, our Vernaccia ensures wines that are fascinating in their youth but age magnificently with rare sapidity and finesse.

Sangiovese and Supertuscan

The soul of Tuscan tradition, our Sangiovese thrives in the clay and limestone soils of our elevated estate, giving it velvety tannins and great structure. From elegant and harmonious Chiantis to bold and expressive Supertuscans where Sangiovese blends with international varieties, these wines express the distinctive fusion of dark fruits, mineral complexity, and silky tannins that have become synonymous with Altezza's house style.

Oils and Vinegars

The soul of Tuscan excellence, our extra virgin olive oil and aged vinegar are created on the elevated lands of Altezza estate, where tradition meets innovation. Here, centuries-old olive groves thrive in mineral-rich limestone soils, giving birth to an oil of remarkable eleganceโ€”fragrant, full-bodied, and rich in polyphenols. Our vinegar, patiently aged in small oak barrels, reveals a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, with deep and complex aromas.

Underground Cellar Collection

Immerse yourself in our ancient underground limestone cellars where tradition meets innovation. Our wines age serenely in wooden barrels and concrete vats, carved directly into the hillside at perfect natural temperature and humidity. This unique underground environment, with its constantly cool temperature and natural stone walls, creates ideal conditions for slow and harmonious aging. Each bottle in our cellar collection showcases the depth, complexity, and elegance that only our exclusive underground aging process can offer.
