Macerato 2021

Macerato 2021

The Farm is unique, a true example of a hardworking and passionate family, where everyone works together for the prosperity of the farm. But what strikes you most is that despite the early morning wake-up calls, the hard work of the entire day, without breaks, one day after another. Every member welcomes you with a smile and they all share the same purpose and the same goal: the wellbeing of their animals and the production of wines according to nature. We are at an altitude of 100 metres above sea level. South-west exposure on clay soils. We use particular care to produce it. Harvesting is done by hand, selecting the bunches directly in the field. The harvested grapes are placed in small crates to prevent them from being crushed. All steps are carefully controlled to achieve maximum expression and the best quality. Red fermentation with indigenous yeasts and 5 months of maceration in a terracotta amphora from Impruneta. Ageing sur lies in acacia barrique and oak for 12 months with weekly bâtonnage.
