Dating back to the 17th Century, the winery was originally owned by the Montalcino diocese, and in the 18th century by Countess Eva Bernini Cerratani. Sold to the Francesco Ciacci in the late 1800's, the winery finally settled on its name after the marriage of Elda Ciacci to Count Alberto Piccolomini d'Aragona in the mid 1900's. In 1985, with a complete absence of direct successors, the winery was inherited by Giuseppe Bianchini. Giuseppe had worked at the winery for many years, and was considered to be like a son to the existing family. Understanding well the traditions of the winery, Giuseppe maintained the commitment to quality and history. He passed away in 2004, leaving his two children Paolo and Lucia to carry on the traditions at Ciacci Piccolomini.
