Riserva Vigneto Fossatone
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG
Our family wanted to express the secrets of the “Vigneto Fossatone”, a small vineyard of sand and stone where those native clones planted almost a century ago still live today. A vineyard in which our commitment is total, where we must have the utmost respect for its natural integrity and for its survival. Only by respecting this authenticity, consistency and balance that nature has given us in this small field, have we been able to obtain such a proud soul in this wine.
Prugnolo Gentile: 90% – Canaiolo Nero: 5% – Mammolo. 5%
Second week of October 2018, with manual harvesting of the best grapes in our vineyard in Ha. 1,50 called Fossatone whose soils are composed mainly of sands and tuff mixed with stones of marl.
The harvested grapes were immediately taken to the cellar, destemmed and crushed and after a cold pre-maceration, placed to ferment on the skins with natural yeasts, in 50 hl tanks. at a controlled temperature for 44 days, with static quiescence in the final phase. Throughout the period, targeted punching down and special delestages were carried out to favor optimal extraction. The malolactic fermentation took place immediately after the alcoholic one.
The aging of the wine took place in 500-liter tonneaux of French oak from Allier and Vosges for about 42 months, without marking the wine with hints of wood, with the aim of enhancing the territorial peculiarities. Then the wine has been placed to rest in stainless steel vats, then bottled and placed in aging in glass, before being put on the market.
This wine faithfully represents the typicality of its territory and of the old vines in which its grapes were born, where the particular exposure to the sun and winds and the composition of its soil, give a particular softness of body and elegance. It has an intense ruby color tending to garnet. the aromas are of ripe red fruit of the forest, with the particular reference to the Coscia di Monaca, the native plum of Montepulciano, as well as aromas of spices, tobacco and pepper. The taste is full and remains long in the mouth, revealing itself to be balanced and enveloping, with soft tannins and the right acidity. It goes wonderfully with red meats, both on the spit and grilled, with game and structured cheeses, but it can be pleasantly drunk even without accompanying it with food. To uncork the bottle at the moment of consumption, care must be taken to oxygenate the wine well, even in a decanter but without shaking it too much. However, we recommend opening it at least 3 or 4 hours before the service
PRODOTTI CORRELATI
Maturato
Toscana IGT Bianco Biologico
“Maturato” is a term that we have used to specify that is produced with on vine long-aged grapes, which must be harvested manually at the end of October. We produce it only in the best crops. The most used grapes are PULCINCULO’s (is the grape’s variety used for Montepulciano’s Vin Santo).
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.

Virgulto
Toscana IGT Rosso
The Prugnolo Gentile, the Sangiovese that we find in Montepulciano, is a stateless person of our territory, in every variance of terrain and microclimate it assumes its nationality, therefore its unique character from the land in which it is planted. in this way a twig, or "Virgulto" of the large tree of the Sangiovese family, which is Prugnolo Gentile, is born and grows. Thus our experience of 7 generations has taught us to take the most beautiful and most suitable bunches of Prugnolo Gentile from our vineyards of Podere Le Caggiole to be mixed together. The result is the Virgulto, a wine capable of telling diversity, distinction and individuality.
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.
Riserva Vigneto Campaccio
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG
Our family wanted to express the secrets of the “Vigneto Campaccio”, a small clay and stone field, where the native clones that still live there were planted almost a century ago. A place where our work commitment is very important, totally addressed to the utmost respect and protection for its natural integrity and biological survival. Only by respecting this purity, rationality and harmony that nature has given us in this small vineyard, could we be able to have such an unrepeatable wine.
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.
