Poderi del Paradiso spreads across an amphitheater of vineyards at the foot of San Gimignano and boasts about thirty hectares planted with vines, realizing a production, with the invaluable advice of oenologist Paolo Caciorgna, of more than 150,000 bottles annually. Although they love Vernaccia di San Gimignano very much, which they make in numerous versions, the winery is a firm experimenter with San Gimignano terroir. Since the early 1980s in its vineyards it has planted alongside traditional grape varieties such as Vernaccia and Sangiovese, also Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, Merlot, Syrah,and Chardonnay.
