SAN GIMIGNANO
The vineyard is situated near the Medieval Tuscan town of San Gimignano; the town of 100 towers! The town is surrounded by the rolling green hills of Tuscany and its within these hills that you will find the wine and oil of Il Lebbio. With genuine passion and love for wine, we work hard everyday to ensure the highest quality of wine and olive oil is produced. The vineyard is named after a wild plant that grows on our land and in between our vineyards.

The vineyard is situated near the Medieval Tuscan town of San Gimignano; the town of 100 towers! The town is surrounded by the rolling green hills of Tuscany and its within these hills that you will find the wine and oil of Il Lebbio.

The vineyard is named after a wild plant that grows on our land and in between our vineyards.
Nearly all of our vineyards are positioned with optimal exposure to the sun which allows for ideal maturation of our grapes.
The business is family owned and operated by the Niccolini brothers and has been for several generations.
This means over the years, we have collected an abundance of knowledge and experience in the traditional techniques of wine-making, however we also incorporate new technologies in order to produce excellent quality wine.

The pruning and selection of the grapes takes place in the traditional manner with the utmost respect for the environment
and the natural cycles of nature.
Thus, being good custodians of this land, means we create the best wines possible from our grapes.

The Wine Cellar
Our wine estate has recently been completely remodernised and houses a wine cellar which allows for all the steps of today’s wine production; from the maturation of the wine in wooden or oak barrels to the refining of the wine in bottles. Thanks to the expertise and personal efforts of the Niccolini brothers (who still respect the local traditions of wine making, but at the same time incorporate new technologies) and the successful partnership with the well-known winemaker, Mr. Luciano Bandini, the wines of Il Lebbio are of optimal quality.
