A Taste of Tuscan Summer

This fresh and lively white wine has been produced since the 100 AD. It takes its name from a Christian martyr in Nero times and probably derives from the greek "eutropius", meaning "of good nature". The boat that transported its body was abandoned in the sea and moored on the French coast which will later be named Saint-Tropez.

Remembering the Sharecroppers

The youngest amongst our wines, Pilerno is produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes coming from the vineyards Casavecchia and Cecco. It takes its name from the Pilerno valley, in the southern part of the farm.
Here, during the sharecropping period, a youthful wine was produced, with lively ruby red color and vinous perfume.

The secret of our Bruschetta

The olives, all coming from the 3000 olive trees scattered in our hills, are collected by hand. Within 24 hours they are crushed at low temperature and in complete absence of oxygen. By doing that oxidation is prevented and the oil turns out fresh and fragrant and with very low acidity.
