Podere Le Caggiole
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Bio
The continuous bond over time that unites wine with the concept of freedom has always fascinated our family. We have 7 generations of experience in individually harvesting our vineyards in Vino Nobile with their native vines, vinifying and maturing them separately, to mix them together only after 2 years, allowing each of them to arrive individually in our glass. This is for us the greatest respect for freedom of expression of the territory.
Prugnolo Gentile 90% – Canaiolo Nero 5% – Mammolo 5%
October, first week, strictly harvested by hand from our vineyard suitable for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano in our farm Le Caggiole.
After a cold pre-maceration, our grapes are immediately destemmed and pressed, they are let ferment on peels with natural yeasts within stainless steel tank of 50 hl or 70 hl for 21 days, at a monitored temperature, with a last static dormancy. To foster the extraction the wine goes through many assembling and dèlestage phases. Malolactic fermentation occurs immediately after the alcoholic fermentation.
The aging of the wine took place by making it stand for different periods in barrels of 20, 25, 34 hl. of French oak, for a period of about 24 months, with the sole purpose of enhancing the territorial peculiarities of our Podere Le Caggiole. Subsequently, the wine was blended and then bottled and aging in glass, for a period of at least 6 months before being put on the market.
This wine, which represents the traditional culture of our land, offers a precise character in which the style of our family is recognizable. It has a ruby color, tending to garnet, with a slight purplish edge. Aromas of ripe red fruit, with references to the Coscia di Monaca, the native plum of Montepulciano. Spices, tobacco and leather are perceptible. The taste is decisive, full and long in the mouth, with a good structure and a vein of soft tannin. Harmonious and elegant, it goes wonderfully with pasta dishes with savory sauces, spit-roasted, grilled and braised red meats, game, and intense or seasoned cheeses. It can also be tasted without food, to capture its intriguing aspects. The optimal serving temperature is 18 ° C. The bottle can also be uncorked at the moment, taking care to oxygenate the wine well without shaking it, better if opened a few hours before.

Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our organic extra virgin olive oil is a liquid narrative of the Montepulciano hills. It begins with an early harvest in mid-October among our olive groves, where nature has spontaneously blended four historic local varieties: Frantoio, Leccino, Correggiolo, and Moraiolo. We harvest by hand, respecting the original proportions of the field, honoring the millenary wisdom passed down through generations. This "field blend" is immediately processed using advanced cold-extraction technology. This method seamlessly fuses the vegetal structure of Frantoio and the elegance of Leccino with the bold character of Correggiolo and the intense aromas of freshly cut grass typical of Moraiolo. The result is an extraordinarily balanced and sophisticated oil. Notes of artichoke, almond, and tomato dance in a sensory harmony that culminates in a slightly spicy finish—an unmistakable sign of a high concentration of polyphenols. More than just a condiment, this organic elixir is a powerhouse of antioxidants and vitamins, serving as a true guardian of daily well-being for the entire family.
Vinsanto di Montepulciano
Occhio di Pernice D.O.C.
Our family has always preserved the secret of its Vin Santo, which does not lie in particular recipes, but in a natural and historical selection that nature itself carries out autonomously, when the best grapes are used, inside the small wooden casks where Vin Santo is born and matures: the caratello. It is inside these casks that, over the course of many decades, even centuries, the “Mother” is naturally selected, that is, a historical concentration of yeasts and organic matter, which determines the slow fermentation of the must from dried grapes, imprinting on the final product the true and distinctive peculiar characteristics, different and specific, never the same, in every vintage and in every farm. Our historic Occhio di Pernice Mother is almost 200 years old.
