This philosophy led to a complete renovation and modernization of the winery.<\/p>\n The estate continued to follow this path in the 1970s and 1980s under the guidance of noblewoman Countess Elisabetta Balbi Valier, wife of Alberto Ricasoli-Firidolfi. Luigi Veronelli referred to her as the \u201cLa Donna del Vinsanto\u201d (The Woman of Vinsanto) for her expertise and passion for the production of this historic wine.
