i. Biography
Born and raised in the town, Daniele Innocenti built his career in Tuscany through vineyard work first, then winemaking. The progression matters: it places soil, season, and harvest ahead of the cellar, and it gives his later work a base in field practice rather than theory. In a region where viticulture carries both craft and inheritance, his path reads as a practical ascent through the tasks that shape a wine before it is ever tasted.
The Climb
Enologo e agronomo at Viticcio is a role that sits at the junction of vineyard and cellar, and Daniele Innocenti holds it with the technical discipline the work demands. As enologist and agronomist, he moves between field decisions and cellar outcomes, with one informing the other. The route from vineyard work to winemaking gives that position a clear logic: it is grounded in labor, attentive to the land, and built on an understanding of how agricultural choices register in the glass.
Today
At the estate, Daniele Innocenti continues to shape the wines through the same close reading of the vineyards that marked his earlier work. His own language points toward restraint and clarity rather than accumulation. He has also said, "In my opinion, the wines reflect the terroir more, and they seem more personal and elegant." That line describes the direction of the work at Viticcio: wines that stay close to place and favor definition over force.
Signature
Daniele's signature dishes include Viticcio Chianti Classico Riserva 2019, Viticcio Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG, and Viticcio Bolgheri DOC 2023.
