The story of Porta di Vertine begins in 2006 when Dan and Ellen Lugosch buy a vineyard in the form of an amphitheater in the village of Vertine, in Gaiole, in the Chianti Classico area. Their main interest is to explore the characteristics of the Sangiovese vineyards, selecting and choosing the soil that make its complexity and attitude to aging stand out in the best way.
