ORGANIC WINE ​In the third generation, Jacopo is now running the Giovannini winery, which his grandfather Garibaldo founded.

An organic Giovanni wine combines an extraordinary taste with a special quality. The result: even better wines, but above all a non-standard taste. This Chardonnay is harvested in the Rubicone wine region. Historically, the Rubicon was a border river between the Roman province of Gallia Cisalpina and Italy proper. This region gained worldwide fame because of the crossing of the Rubicon river by Gaius Julius Caesar in 49 BC.
