About Winery and Wines

Tenuta di Tavignano is in the area of Cingoli (province of Macerata). The property is on hills that dominate the valleys of the Esino and Musone rivers, on one side one can see the San Vicino mountain and on the other side the Adriatic sea and the Conero Riviera. Our estate has 230 hectares of land, 30 of which are dedicated to vineyards that are divided into two: white grapes on the estate side and red grapes closer to the sea. We cultivate our vineyards respecting the plant’s life cycle, creating biodiversity by making the soil healthy and nutrient rich, pushing the plants towards total self-sufficiency and thus natural behaviours. The vineyards stand in the heart of the “Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico” and of the "Rosso Piceno DOC ”appellations.
The climatic and soil conditions - such as ideal altitude, exposure, day/night temperature range, soft slopes, absence of fog and optimal northern ventilation - create a perfect microclimate for a low environmental impact viticulture. The estate is now certified organic. The soils composition - medium texture characterized by marly-calcareous rocks — gives a characteristic mineral and sapid flavour to the wines. We fully realise that nature is a perfect, self-sufficient ecosystem capable of growing and thriving without any human intervention at all. At Tavignano Estate we toil the land to restore and maintain as much as possible that natural state of things and that bond with the land that has always distinguished our ancestors. Thanks to this management, in 2018 we received organic certification.

At Tenuta di Tavignano, we’ve collected what happened in this place, studied it and made it part of us. We’ve worked to enhance our harmony with the land and accompany the vines as they grow, not as external agents but as an integral part of the growing process just as our ancestors taught us to be. Our profound knowledge of the exceptional characteristics of DOC Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is our secret. Because to give life to a great wine, you have to listen to the land that gives it life, understand it and work with it. Verdicchio Classico Superiore “Misco" and "Misco Riserva” are the classic white wines of the estate while Marche Rosso "Libenter” is the classic red wine produced with Montepulciano, Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Merlot. All the white wines mature in stainless steel vats, whereas the reds mature in fine oak barrels. In the early nineties the owners Stefano Aymerich di Laconi and Beatrice Lucangeli decided to plant new vineyards of Verdicchio grapes, with the aim to focus on high quality white wines with a great personality and which could be suitable for ageing.
