Owners: Elena Gallo (338.5251074) and her husband Mario Gallo bought the estate in the 1980s and started working here full time in the 1990s.

The name: The estate’s name is tied to the Piccolomini Pope and to his native town, Pienza, whose previous name was Corsignano. The hamlet of Corsignano, just 10 km. from Siena and 40 km. from Pienza, on the way from SS 222 to Vagliagli, was one of the final borders of the Papal Patronage, hence its name.
