Very nice wine tasting
We first got a tour with explanation through the winery. After that we had the chance to taste 5 of their wines and had something to eat (bread, eggs, etc.).
Since we are vegetarian we asked for snacks without meat, which the winery kindly prepared for us.
The wines very tasty and we even bought some bottles.
I can only suggest the tour! We could learn something, which was perfect because we are complete beginners in the wine world.
Esperienza da fare!
Ottima esperienza
L'unica pecca personale è che durante la degustazione avremmo gradito una leggera musica di sottofondo per facilitare anche la conversione, c'era molto silenzio.
Esperienza fantastica
Eccellente
Esperienza Super!
Claudia è stata molto carina e ci ha fatto sentire subito a nostro agio, ci ha spiegato dettagliatamente tutta la parte tecnica dell’esperienza (dalla raccolta dell’uva alla fase di imbottigliamento). Durante la fase della degustazione ci ha fatto assaggiare i loro vini accompagnati da dei taglieri di prodotti locali, tutto ottimo.
In generale non posso che essere più che soddisfatta dell’esperienza e spero di poterne fare altre simili!
Professionalità e che posto!!!
Ultima nota positiva e che rispettano le norme di sicurezza covid in maniera soddisfacente, apparecchiando i tavoli a gruppi in modo da avere contatti solo tra conoscenti .
Poi comodissimo usare winedering per prenotare. Tutto perfetto da ripetere senza dubbio.

About Winery and Wines
Our story begins in 1971, the year in which Genuino Del Duca, a former carabiniere from Abruzzo moved to Tuscany and decides to retire from the Army after twenty years to fulfill his dream: to create, together with his wife Ivana, a reality connected to good food and good wine, their two big passions.
Thus, they opened the restaurant “Il Vecchio Mulino” in Saline di Volterra and a second restaurant in 2001 at Palazzo Inghiarmi in the historical center of the city. The restaurant business increases the passion for food and wine, feeding the desire to buy a farmhouse in the countryside of Volterra where it would have been possible to produce wine, an excellent product of a land where the wine tradition dates back to Etruscan age. The wish came true and in 2003, having sold the restaurant in Saline di Volterra, the Del Duca family bought Marcampo, a farm of the early eighteenth century abandoned around the 1950. The restoration of the old ruin was completed in 2009 and Marcampo became a real jewel in the heart of the Natural Park of the Balze and the Calanchi. The warm welcome of the hosts, the love and care for every little detail, make Marcampo a magical and welcoming place, a perfect escape from the heat and chaos of the city for families, couples and friends.
The young vineyard of five hectares, located in front of the house was born in 2005 and it is completely hand worked by Genuino and Claudia, whose love and passion give life to IGT Toscana wines of high quality: Terrablu, Genuino, Marcampo, Severus and Giusto alle Balze.
The grape varieties grown are: Vermentino, Sangiovese, Merlot, Pugnitello and Ciliegiolo.
The wine production in Volterra dates back to Etruscan age, so when we started in 2005 we wanted to keep this very old tradition.
On a clay soil rich in salts and minerals, because of the past presence of the sea side, we grow our vines in the total respect of the privileges that the nature has given us. Wine is mostly made in the vineyard and that is why we take a good care of each plant.
In the winemaking we keep respecting the characteristics of the wines, trying to let them be the perfect expression of our territory.
