Teruzzi & Puthod

Past, present and future coexist at Teruzzi: a state-of-the-art winery, constantly exploring the most innovative solutions to produce the best wines, while respectful of the local heritage and the Tuscan vine and wine tradition.

Teruzzi is a contemporary valorization of ancient Tuscany, with its centuries-old tradition. It epitomizes the strong bond of a company with its area, its place of origin. Its journey has continually exalted the historical heritage, nobility and personality of San Gimignano, a true medieval jewel, and those of its most precious resource: Vernaccia.

A white wine, the color of royalty, which in late 13th century Europe was served at the tables of kings, popes and wealthy merchants. Despite a few centuries of decline, in 1966 it was the first Italian wine to be granted Controlled Designation of Origin status. Nowadays, with 60 hectares, Teruzzi owns the largest expanse planted with Vernaccia. Teruzzi’s estate stretches over 180 hectares – 94 under vines, of which 60 under Vernaccia vines.

In 1974, Enrico Teruzzi, an engineer by profession and a vintner by calling, founded the winery that bears his name with the assistance of his wife Carmen, in the shadows of San Gimignano’s characteristic towers and secular history, surrounded by the captivating beauty of the Tuscan hills.

In 2016, the estate and winery were taken over by Terra Moretti, the holding owned by the Moretti family. “Investing in what the land has to offer, to root the future in it”: this is the spirit behind Terra Moretti’s endeavor to take up where the founder of Teruzzi had left off, on a course between innovation and tradition, to lead the viticultural estate to reach outstanding results in terms of sustainability.
