About Winery and Wines

At the highest altitudes of the Montepulciano's countryside, we cultivate just over 4 hectares of vineyards, arranged in 2 vineyards, where many different soils coexist in harmony. Here the vines, thanks to the symbiosis between the terroir of each plot and the plant, live in perfect balance. We believe that biodynamics, when practiced with common sense and with positive intentions, is the best possible compromise for tomorrow’s agriculture. Not only that, but it is also the way to pursue environmental sustainability and maintain the classic Tuscan landscape. Biodiversity is also an important factor for us, because it allows us to achieve a balance in the environment, in nature and in the relationship between humans, plants and animals; so that in this harmony, even the vines become capable of counteracting adversity.

The diversity of the land of Montepulciano gives a specific character to Sangiovese. Added to this is the influence of the surrounding woods which create a unique microclimate in this corner of Tuscany. For us, viticulture is the search for ideal grapes, whose energy and essence are intact. For this reason, we cultivate in biodynamics, following the lunar and astral rhythms. Emotion is central to our approach to the plant, because it guides us towards our senses and our feelings. The harvest begins by tasting the grapes, in search of the balance of the maturity of the skins to preserve minerality and tension. The cellar is the place of transformation and listening, here we recognize the character of the wine and support it, waiting for it without forcing until it reaches its balance. We reject prepackaged recipes because they bring approval, we prefer a sartorial approach that favors the natural flow of diversity, which becomes emotion in wine. We manipulate and add less and less, preserving purity, so that our organic and biodynamic wines become the faithful mirror of this little corner of Tuscany. Our wines tell a story about Montepulciano and Tuscany; Our bottles contain the essence of our natural and low intervention philosophy.
