HISTORY: The farm started back in 1978 when a group of people rescued abandoned land from expropriation. With the help of goats, they began by clearing all the bushes and weeds from the fields. Slowly, year after year, they began to plant seeds. First focusing on cereals and legumes, and then eventually moving into beekeeping and vines.
 
ABOUT: Since 1989, they have been organic in all their farming and started working naturally since 2012. They work as a true farm – utilizing crop and grazing rotation with cows (they also have pigs) over their 50 hectares of land. They are producing a wide range of wines that both honor and obtain their Chianti and Riserva DOCG and push into newer expressions with pét-nats, macerated whites, amphora, and fresher, lighter reds. Beyond the farming and winemaking, they also have a restaurant and agriturismo on the property.

VINIFICATION: Vines averaging 17-20 years old are Organically grown in Clay & Limestone soil types. Grapes are handpicked and macerated for 15 days utilizing Native Ambient yeasts and Spontaneous Fermentation in Stainless Steel tanks. The resulting wine is neither fined nor filtered, and is bottled without the addition of Sulfites after aging in Stainless Steel tanks for 12 months.

TASTING NOTES: Med. bodied, dry Red Wine. Ruby color. Aromas of Dark Fruits, Plums, Black Cherry, Chocolate & Earth. On the palate this wine has corresponding notes of Plum, Black Cherry, Dried Herbs & Earthy Clay, w/ pops of Pomegranate & Red Cherry leading to a med. length finish on a Chocolate note.
