1900–1990: The three Beconcini generations lay the foundations for today's PIETRO BECONCINI AGRICOLA1990–1995: Study period for the passing of the winery management from Pietro to Leonardo Beconcini. 1993: First encounter with the tempranillo vines and microfermentations of it as the mysterious "grape X." 1995: First year of production of the 100% sangiovese RECISO, the first result of a long-lived Sangiovese and today the winery's historic wine. 1996: First investments in new vineyard plantings, exclusively from local budwood, beginning with the sangiovese vines. 1997: After three years of clonal selection, we begin to plant tempranillo derived from the budwood of the ca.90-year-old historical vineyard, "grape X," whose real identity still remained unknown. 1998: The Sangiovese project is completed:1) Chianti Beconcini, which my family had produced for over half a century, now returns, but with a rigorous personality. 2) Maurleo debuts, a blend of malvasia nera and sangiovese, a true Supertuscan from indigenous varieties.1999-2000-2001-2002.2003: rapid growth. Vineyards increase from 3 to 12 hectares, of which 5 are planted to tempranillo. Studies and research are beginning to yield initial results. 2004: In February, DNA examination was carried out on our "grape X". Our venerable vines belong to the tempranillo variety, and historical research tells us that the vines arrived here, some centuries back, as part of the seasonal journeys linked to religious pilgrimages. Our research efforts in this matter were finally successful, and we are the guardians of tempranillo vines present for centuries in San Miniato.2005-2006-2007: Planning and development of two 100% tempranillo wines, unique in all of Tuscany1) IXE Tempranillo2) VIGNA ALLE NICCHIE, 100% tempranillo2008-2009-2021: Studies are still in process for some experimental projects, focusing on lesser-known grapes that have always grown in this area.
