Castello di Vicarello

About Winery and Wines

The inspiration comes from the Castle, but our hearts are devoted to wine. The seven hectares of vineyard in Maremma, which were uncontaminated wooded hills before we arrived, are grown according to organic farming dictates. Five different grape-varieties are planted at an average density of 12,000 plants per hectare. Three wines narrate our home, our aspirations and our dreams. All of this is Castello di Vicarello vinery but, before that, all this is who we are.
