Tenuta San Giorgio
“Our estate has a family history rooted in authentic values and deep traditions. Since 1971, the passion for fine wine and the land has been passed down from one generation to the next.
At the heart of Tenuta San Giorgio lies a profound sense of family, sharing, and respect. These values sustain a historic winery that honours tradition while embracing the innovative spirit of the new generations.
The story of our estate began in 1971 when Sergio Tombacco, driven by a passion inherited from his father Lodovico, founded Tenuta San Giorgio. He chose the beautiful and fertile lands of the Piave, acquiring vineyards that had flourished there for over a century.
Over 50 years, three generations have shaped our journey. Sergio was succeeded by his sons Giorgio, Valerio, and Marco, who introduced important innovations to the estate. They, in turn, involved their own children in the business, creating the team we have today.”
In 2004, the estate achieved a significant milestone: its first gold medal at Vinitaly. This recognition celebrated the quality of products crafted with a love for the land, a passion for authentic flavours, and a commitment to family values.
