We currently produce six wines: Chianti Colli Senesi, Chianti CS Riserva, Rosato Lunella, Ciliegiolo, Canaiolo and Castro de Tolfis. We also produce an organic Grappa through distillation of the Sangiovese skins.

Chianti Colli Senesi
100% Sangiovese
Lustrous mid ruby. Classic, deep cherry nose with a hint of leaves and a touch of cinnamon bark. Great length and rich, grainy tannins.
Harvest: Hand picked end September, with selection of grapes.
Vinification: Fermented in concrete at max 30C.15 day maceration period.
Aging: (2 years total) occurs partly in concrete tanks and partly in 500L French oak tonneaux (for a duration of 8 – 10 months).
Chianti Colli Senesi
80% Sangiovese, 20% Canaiolo, Colorino and Ciliegiolo
Intense, bright, ruby red colour. Concentrated, perfumed nose with hints of iron, and lively sour cherry on the palate with a firm core of sandy tannins. Long and succulent.
Harvest: Hand picked mid September for Canaiolo and Colorino, late September for Sangiovese.
Vinification: Fermented in concrete tanks at max. 30C. Maceration lasts 7 days for Canaiolo and Colorino, 10 days for Sangiovese.
100% Sangiovese
Salmon pink. A note of Campari and sweet strawberry fruit on the nose and with daring high volatile acidity. Animating orange and sweet strawberry palate with a hint of iron and with a velvety texture. Long and complex and definitely walking a fine line.
Harvest: Hand picked and selected in mid to end September. Vinification: Sangiovese and Canaiolo drawn off (saigne) from red wine tanks after a skin maceration of a few hours. One third fermented in tonneaux, two thirds in stainless steel, without temperature control. Spontaneous alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentation.
Ciliegiolo Rosso Toscano IGT
100% Ciliegiolo
Mid crimson. Exciting nose of strawberry, raw meat and cherry and with the lift of volatile acidity adding complexity. Iron and orange. Succulent with nervy acidity and bright cherry fruit and with rustic tannins. Long and energetic.
Harvest: Hand picked end September, with selection of grapes.
Vinification: Fermented spontaneously in concrete tanks. Skin contact of 30 days.
Aging: Aged in oak tonneaux.
Canaiolo Rosso Toscano IGT
100% Canaiolo
Focused, fragrant and refreshing, the Canaiolo is vibrant in colour – a vivid ruby, and in primary red fruit and floral aromas. Red cherry, cranberry and rose aromas translate directly on to the palate. In the mouth the wine feels lithe, lighter in tannins and body than the Sangiovese, less broad yet equally refined and superbly drinkable.
Harvest: Hand picked end September, with a selection of grapes.
Vinification: Fermented in concrete tanks. Skin contact of 30 days.
Grappa made from a pomace of Sangiovese and Canaiolo grapes
A rich aroma of unusual scents and intense fragrances. Intense taste, very harmoniously balanced, round, with slightly fruity final sensations.
System of distillation: Discontinuous in baine marie.
