In ancient times, Mormoraia was a convent but today it is an elegant estate situated in the heart of Tuscany, on the Chianti hills overlooking the beautiful town of San Gimignano. An agro-tourist resort as well as a working vineyard, the estate covers some 90 hectares, of which 30 are planted to vineyards and 10 to olives.
 The vineyards and olive groves are cultivated with respect to the environment and nature, under the watchful eye of owner, Giuseppe Passoni. Winemaking takes place in the state-of-the-art cellar where a mix of large and small French oak barrels are utilised to make these typical, yet modern wines.
