Vintage 2011

LATE AUGUST: Another year, another harvest, once again different from the previous ones.
What remains the same is our passion for our work, as always we wish to obtain the maximum from the grapes which Nature gives us. The growing season of the grapes has, in various occasions, gone through periods of rapid acceleration and brusque stops. In particular a very warm early spring, which greatly advanced the various phases of vine and grape development, then rain and lower than usual temperatures during the first part of the summer, which once again slowed down ripening and growth. In mid-August, instead, heat, truly scorching heat. W are already ready with the harvesting shears to begin with the Merlot.

SEPTEMBER 2011: We have picked our first grapes.
The cellars, already perfectly neat and orderly before picking began, have received the first bunches which various industrious hands have placed in the small packing cases which, after a brief ride on the tractor with its trailing cart, arrived in the cellars. It was still very hot in the vineyard, and it is easy to imagine the relief which the grapes felt when they went into the casks, suitably cooled to receive them Now another of nature’s wonders must occur: the sugars present in the grapes, must be transformed, with the aid of native yeasts, into alcohol … a new wine is being born.

Tastings and Visits

Follow the provincial road linking Pienza and Montepulciano at Palazzo Massaini, turn at the junction towards Monticchiello, follow another 3 km of unmade road winding through the cypress trees and you’ll at last reach our home.

Welcoming you at the top of the winery’s driveway is an old cart once used by our peasant ancestors, still loaded with the demijohns and tubs they used. You will find my family and I there among the rows of vines or in the wheatfields. That’s right – because we work hands-on in the countryside, directly involved in sowing, harvesting, and caring for the plants.

Ours is a typical Tuscan farm comprising 50 hectares of sowable land, vineyards, olive groves and woods. It was recorded in the agricultural land register of the Siena area in 1692 and is named “Sedime”, from the Latin meaning “a place where everything stops, rests and relaxes”.

You will be a welcome visitor. We can talk about and show you the farm work we are doing, and let you join in if you like. We can taste wines in the cellar: our own interpretations of Sangiovese, the Tuscan variety par excellence.
