Producer

Francesco farms 16 hectares of vines, wheat, fruit, olives and woodland on a Tuscan hill near San Miniato. He is very detailed and careful in his approach, true to his philosophy of making the most energising wines without any chemicals or additives. The whole farm is managed biodynamically, and the calcareous soils yield wines that are structured and fresh with nice acidity. The wines are macerated, fermented and aged in large concrete tanks, with nothing added or taken away except a low dose of SO2 at filling. 

Farming and Winemaking

Biodynamically farmed grapes are manually harvested and de-stemmed. Fermentation is with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks for three weeks and no SO2 additions. Then racked off and racked a few more times over winter. Filled in early Spring with SO2 addition of 20 mg/l
