Nestled in the beautiful Tuscany, just 20 km from Florence, in Montemurlo, between the charming cities of Prato and Pistoia, the Marchesi Pancrazi Agricultural Estate lies at the foot of Mount Ferrato. The heart of the estate is the historic Villa di Bagnolo, built in the 1500s by the noble Florentine Strozzi family, surrounded by 5 hectares of Pinot Noir vineyards, 3,000 olive trees, and 45 hectares of pristine woodlands.
In 1965, the Bagnolo Estate was inherited by the Pancrazi family, and Vittorio Pancrazi decided to replant the vineyards. It was during this time that a nursery error led to the planting of Pinot Noir rootstocks instead of the traditional Tuscan Sangiovese.
Only in the 1980s did the expert eye of winemaker Dr. Nicolò D’Afflitto recognize the mistake, and understanding the potential of the terroir, it was decided that, starting in 1989, the estate would exclusively cultivate Pinot Noir, producing the first Pinot Noir in Tuscany.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful time at Marchesi Pancrazi! We were staying nearby and came across the winery online. Francesca was super helpful with the booking and gave us a great tour of the stunning property, tasting of 3 different wines, and thorough overview of the villa’s interesting history. If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend!

Sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto del mio recente acquisto dei vini Marchesi Pancrazi sul loro shop online. La selezione è stata ampia e curata, permettendomi di trovare le bottiglie perfette per le mie esigenze. Ma ciò che ha reso questa esperienza davvero speciale è stata l’assistenza ricevuta dall’azienda. Il personale si è dimostrato non solo competente e professionale, ma anche estremamente gentile e disponibile.L’ordine è stato effettuato a ridosso della metà di Agosto ma per evitare giacenze di magazzino è stato consigliato di attendere i primi di settembre in coincidenza con la ripresa delel attività dell’azienda stessa e dello spedizioniere. La spedizione è stata rapida ed efficiente, e i vini sono arrivati perfettamente imballati. Non posso che raccomandare questo shop online a tutti gli appassionati di vino che cercano prodotti di alta qualità e un servizio clienti impeccabile.
EN translation: I was extremely satisfied with my recent purchase of Marchesi Pancrazi wines on their online shop. The selection was wide and well-curated, allowing me to find the perfect bottles for my needs. But what made this experience truly special was the assistance received from the company. The staff proved not only competent and professional, but also extremely kind and helpful. The order was placed around mid-August but to avoid warehouse stocks it was recommended to wait until early September to coincide with the resumption of the company’s activity and that of the shipping company. Shipping was quick and efficient, and the wines arrived perfectly packaged. I can only recommend this online shop to all wine lovers looking for high quality products and impeccable customer service.
