"TROCCOLONE" 2016 - the second harvest experiencing the amphora.
"Capitoni" 2013 - the wine, that by practicing a careful selection every year, is produced since 2001.
"FRASI" 2012 - only in the best vintages from a vineyard of nearly 50 years.
In the last few vintage to discover the evolution of our wines

TROCCOLONE

OUR LATEST INTERPRETATION ON SANGIOVESE
WHERE THE WINE WAS BORN was created in order to give a certain visibility and identity to the grapes of a single vineyard plot which, fermented on their own for several years now, have always given us particularly interesting wine in terms of fragrance and fresh drinking pleasure.
WHY THE AMPHORA Well aware of the potential of this parcel’s production, we searched for a container in which the grapes could be fermented and then aged to fully bring out their original character and their varietal aromas. After a period of trial and experimentation begun in the 2012 vintage, we came to the conclusion that the best solution would be the use of terracotta containers. A lengthy search for the proper characteristics resulted in our choice of two terracotta amphorae with a 500 liter (130 gallon) capacity produced from the soil of Impruneta near Florence (i.e. a special area of Tuscany long known for the quality of its terracotta), worked manually with the technique known as a colombina, one which does not utilize moulds. The entire surface is left in its natural state without varnishing, vitrification, or other techniques or substances.

At the centre of wonders

Val d'Orcia is world-famous and it is no coinscidence that it was named “World Heritage Centre” by Unesco. The photographs of its cypress-lined hillsides are most frequently used to represent Tuscany (www.valdorcia.it).
 
This area is a very convenient starting point for visiting many cities in and near Tuscany. It is located at equal distance (30 minutes) from the A1 motorway exits of Chiusi (to the south) and Valdichiana (to the north). From Val d’Orcia: Montepulciano is just 10 km, Siena 70 Km, Florence 120 km, San Gimignano 110 km, Cortona 25 km, Argentario with its beautiful sea is just 120 km. And you can easily explore Umbria from here too: Lago Trasimeno is about 30 km away, Perugia 70 km, Assisi 90 km, Spello 120km. Rome is less than 200km away.

From this location you can easily visit the beautiful treasures of central Italy… without sacrificing silence and nature.
