Cantina e Vini

Tenimenti d’Alessandro is an historic winery in the Val di Chiana. After years of research, we are realizing Syrah true vocation for Cortona terroir that perfectly express the optimal relationship between the soil and the vine. Everyday we celebrate a profound connection with this enchanting land through the rigorous pursuit of excellence. This mission requires a complete dedication to the vineyards followed by accurate winemaking techniques, looking for the highest expression of Cortona wines. Tenimenti d’Alessandro is also a place where to experience first-hand the harvest, sharing efforts and satisfactions with winemakers and vintners, right to the creation of a great wine. The only treatments implemented in the vineyards are the ones based on sulfur and copper. Then, just light processing up to the cellar, where we respect the variety and the local characteristics of both must and wine. We have an holistic and "customized" idea of each grapevine, looked after in order to self-regulate the growth and to prevent diseases. For this reason, since the harvest of 2013, we work in accordance with the organic principles, and in 2016, after a three-year phase of conversion, the company will obtain an organic certification. The land has already proved itself incline to change. A micro-biological "resurrection" of soil and a physiological rebirth of plants made the green of leaves brighter, the soil damper and inhabited, the clusters more autonomous, combative, balanced. The best answer we could expect, which motivates the desire to work a vital land and gather rich grapes in order to be respectfully transformed into wine. All that to make an authentic representation of our country and proudly show our efforts
