Lorenzo Pitirra and his wife Isabella represent the third generation of the Tenuta Il Palazzo estate, whose history dates back to 1946. Today, at the head of a 42-hectare wine domain in the Chianti region, Lorenzo has succeeded in levelling up the wines of his estate thanks to his high standards for excellence, his tenacity, and his passion for his vineyards. He has taken particular care with the “Collezione Privata” vintage, a distinguished and elegant wine made in collaboration with his friend Costantino Rocca.
