I Balzini history
A great wine which comes not only from
the soil but also from one man’s dream.
Vincenzo D’ Isanto dreamed of making
“his wine” : elegant, pleasant and with a
refined bouquet.
In 1977 he bought an estate in Barberino Val D’ Elsa, called I BALZINI as written on the cadastral survey map. The name I balzini is given in Tuscany to indicate small terraces. Vincenzo analyzed the soil to understand which grape varieties were best capable of expressing the characteri-stics he was looking for. He planted a small vineyard and after some experimentation he collaborated with Giulio Gambelli and, in 1987, he produced the first vintage of I BALZINI White Label. The passion of Vincenzo involved his wife Antonella, who now manages the estate, organizes special events for the guests and takes care of environmental preservation projects. She is also expanding her pro-ducts with olive oil, grappa and wine jelly. Since 2006 the enologist, Barbara Tam-burini, has collaborated with the winery and has been able to continue to realize Vincenzo’s dream and to follow the ideas of a dynamic Antonella. I BALZINI are niche

wines, they are elegant, smooth, pleasant to drink and perfect for aging, These wines are able tell the history of the terroir which is particularly loved and well maintained due to choices regarding environmental sustainability. These wines are produced thanks to careful selection of the grapes, which are worked upon with care and pas-sion. For this reason Vincenzo and Antonel-la love to be called “ wine producers for passion”
