Crociani

Montepulciano Sangiovese and traditional Vin Santo from central Toscana.

Crociani operates in Montepulciano, the southern heart of Toscana, where Sangiovese thrives on clay and limestone soils. The winery's portfolio centers on the region's defining expressions: Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva, built from Sangiovese with structure and aging potential, and Rosso di Montepulciano, the appellation's more immediate counterpart. A distinctive offering is Vin Santo di Montepulciano, the fortified white made from Malvasia Bianca Lunga and Grechetto—a traditional Tuscan style marked by oxidative aging and concentrated sweetness. Wines from Crociani have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff, reflecting the winery's standing within critical circles. The house balances the austere, age-worthy character of Montepulciano's reds with the amber complexity of its Vin Santo.
