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

Grapes are harvested by hand before being crushed and de-stemmed and directly pressed off their skins using a pneumatic press and fermented in concrete tanks for three weeks. No yeast or SO2 additions during the fermentation. Wines are racked a few more times over winter before being kegged without fining or filtration in the early Spring with a small SO2 addition of 20 mg/l. Clean, precise and delicious natural wines.
