Tasting notes
Brilliant yellow with light golden reflexes. Aromas of citruses, apple, pear and exotic fruits. In the lightly herbaceous, mineral and slightly salty character one can perceive the helping hand of the Grechetto. The taste is harmonious and fresh and its acidity perfectly balanced with fullness and roundness of taste. The minerality is remarkable and typical of the sandy Mediterranean terrain that is home of this wine. Perfect with fish and sea food.

Notes on the Producer

Environment sustainability is our driving principle
Our practices are about giving back to the soil and managing the vineyard as a balanced sustainable farming unit. The result is grapes of the highest quality, handpicked and selected, which are then crafted into wines of great character, reflecting the strength and beauty of this land. beautiful, clean handcrafted wines that do not impact negatively the soil as they are created.
Our vineyard
Our 15 hectare vineyard is located in the heart of Maremma and we produce approximately 100.000 bottles per year. For us the story of how a wine is made is as important as the wine itself and we believe that winegrowing begins with the care of the soil. Since 2004 we have been practicing organic viticulture and we have been certified organic since 2015. Our approach is to tap into the rhythms of nature to embrace biodiversity and encourage natural processes in order to grow healthy grapes that help craft expressive, vibrant and living wines.
