Our grapes

We grow four varieties, two red and two white, chosen over the years for how well they suit our land and for the character they bring to the estate's harvest.

Ciliegiolo

Red grapes

Vitis vinifera

Ciliegiolo ripens early and gives a compact cluster, rich in sugar and in the cherry notes that give the grape its name. It is traditionally paired with Sangiovese, which it softens and rounds out, following a custom common throughout the Maremma. It thrives on limestone-rich soils and a mild climate — a modest but precious variety that we tend with the same care as ever.

Procanico

White grapes

Vitis vinifera

Procanico is a white-berried biotype related to Trebbiano Toscano, common between Tuscany and Umbria. It has loose, golden clusters and delicate aromas that make it an elegant grape. It ripens in September and suits the area's hillside soils well, yielding fruit versatile enough for both wine and the table.

Sangiovese

Red grapes

Vitis vinifera

Sangiovese is Tuscany's signature grape, and the red heart of our vineyards since 1968. Loose clusters, thin skin and a lively acidity give it real character, prized across the region for generations. It ripens in September and prefers well-exposed hillside soils, where it finds the ideal conditions to thrive. It remains the variety closest to our heart.

Trebbiano

White grapes

Vitis vinifera

Trebbiano is one of the most widely grown white varieties in central Italy, and it has been part of our harvest since the estate's early years. It has large clusters, a generous yield and a crisp, lively acidity. It ripens in September and suits our local soils well, yielding fruit versatile enough for both wine and the table.
