...E il mio labbro profanato
Si purifichi, s’immerga,
Si sommerga
Dentro un pecchero indorato,
Colmo in giro di quel vino
Del vitigno
Sì benigno,
Che fiammeggia in Sansavino;
O di quel che vermigliuzzo,
Brillantuzzo
Fa superbo l’Aretino,
Che lo alleva in Tregozzano,
E tra’ sassi di Giggiano.
Sarà forse più frizzante,
Più razzente e più piccante,
O coppier, se tu richiedi
Quell’Albano,
Quel Vaiano,
Che biondeggia,
Che rosseggia
Là negli orti del mio Redi……..

THE FARM
Fattoria Il Muro has been owned by the Pancaro family for more than two centuries. Its land has always
been used for producing vineyards. This is due to its particular environmental conditions that are ideal for
the production of high quality wine enabling the growth of grapevines in an environmentally sustainable
and eco-friendly way. Indeed, the soil rich in marl and the temperate climate provide a microhabitat
that improves the organoleptic qualities and the health of the farm grapes. The 17th century’s poet
Francesco Redi celebrated the vineyards and the wine produced in this area in his well-known poem
Bacchus in Tuscany. Since the early 1970s, the late owner Francesco Pancaro, decided to specialize
in growing grape. His engagement and work have been continued by the whole family, but mostly by
his son Federico. He is now engaged in updating the production techniques while keeping up the old
traditions, aware that enthusiasm, love for nature and respect for the environment are the recipe to
maintaining the high quality of the products. Because of this philosophy, only the grapes produced on
the farm are used to make these high-quality wines produced in the historic wine-cellar, locally known
as La Panchera.
THE WINES
SPIGALLO
Denomination: Chianti DOCG
We decided to name our Chianti, Spigallo, in 2011, when we changed the farm’s image and
we adopted a cock pecking a sheaf of wheat as our logo. We took this decision because we
found this picture in our villa since in the past it was used as the family crest.
Spigallo is made only from selected farm’s grape with a long fermentation at a controlled
temperature in cements tanks and a short maturation of 6 months in the traditional tuscan big
barrels of chestnut wood. It is a rich and full-bodied wine, with all of its components in perfect
balance. It is characterized by an intense ruby-red colour with purple hints and by a perfume
of bouquet of red roses and berries fruit (such as black currant and blueberry). The taste is rich,
with an important tannic structure although featured by lively and sweet tannin.
Grapes: 80% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot.
Agronomists: Federico Pancaro and Stefano di Blasi
GALIOFFO
Denomination: Vinsanto del Chianti DOC
The name Galioffo comes from the name of a close podere, in which the family of a farmer
used to live during the old times of mezzadria. Our DOC Chianti Vinsanto is a unique product
perfectly in line with old traditions. The experienced collectors harvest the best grapes by
hand, and they leave them to dry until Christmas in a ventilated space on reed mats called
graticci. Once dried the grapes are pressed and the very sweet must is put to rest in caratelli
– old and small chestnut wood barrels - that allow the Vinsanto to age peacefully for at least
3 years. Sweet in taste and with dark amber color, it has an intense chestnut flour and dried
fruit smell. In the mouth it is sweet, oily, with a soft incense finish.
Grapes: Trebbiano and White Malvasia 90%, Sangiovese 10%.
Agronomists: Federico Pancaro and Stefano di Blasi
THE WINES
LAMA
Denomination: I.G.T. Chardonnay di Toscana
As for Galioffo, the name Lama derives from the name of an old farm situated close to our
property, in the age of mezzadria. This wine is made from Chardonnay, farm’s grape, with a
long fermentation at a controlled temperature in inox steel tank, and a short maturation for
the 40% in oak and for the 60% in inox steel. The colour is paper-white, with an extraordinary
range of perfuse, mainly the scent of elder flowers. The taste is fruity with a well balanced
mineral acidity.
Grapes:100% Chardonnay.
Agronomists: Federico Pancaro and Stefano di Blasi.
SASSONE
Denomination: I.G.T. Bianco di Toscana
The word Sassone in Italian means big stone, so the name of this wine comes from a big rock
lying in a forest next to our winery, and from the rich presence of the same marl pebbles
in the vineyard, which facilitates the temperature regulation and help the vines to give the
bunches all the necessary nutrients and to maintain strong minerality and fresh taste of the
wine. Sassone is a young and fresh wine with lovely minerality and vibrant acidity, crystal-clear
in color, made from a blend of traditional tuscan white grapes, which are hand harvested,
and a long fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless stell tanks.
Grapes: blend of Trebbiano, Malvasia and Vermentino.
