クララ・ステッラ
Clara Stella
WhiteVernaccia di San Gimignano
The entry-level, youthful expression of Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG — Tuscany's only white DOCG. Named after the winemakers' daughter Clara, this wine is hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressed and spontaneously fermented in steel, then aged six months on fine lees before unfiltered bottling. Fresh and saline on the palate with citrus, white flower and mineral notes typical of the ancient marine soils of San Gimignano.
リアルト
Rialto
WhiteVernaccia di San Gimignano
A single-vineyard Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG from a 50-year-old plot on poor, stony hillside soil. Grapes are hand-harvested in small crates during the coolest hours, destemmed and macerated on the skins for 20 hours before pressing, then spontaneously fermented in steel and aged 12 months on fine lees, with a further 6 months refining in bottle before unfiltered release. Noble, mineral and energetic, with real aging potential.
プリマ・ルーチェ
Prima Luce
WhiteVernaccia di San Gimignano
The estate's Riserva, made from old, organically farmed vines on an east-facing slope that catches the first light of morning — the wine's namesake. Grapes ferment on the skins in terracotta amphorae for about a month, a technique that extracts aroma and texture without forcing structure, complemented by parallel steel fermentation. A low-sulphite, natural-leaning bottling with rocky minerality and an almond-skin finish.
ドンナ・フラヴィア
Donna Flavia
RedCiliegiolo · Sangiovese · Colorino
A Toscana IGT named after winemaker Flavia Del Seta, built around the native Ciliegiolo grape (85%), traditionally used to soften Sangiovese but given the lead role here, blended with Sangiovese (10%) and Colorino (5%). The fruit comes from a single, south-west-facing vineyard of 38-year-old organically farmed vines. A fruit-forward, distinctly cherry-scented, feminine style of red.
セッレート
Serreto
RedSangiovese · Merlot
A Toscana IGT 'Superiore' blend made from the estate's best Sangiovese and Merlot grapes. Innovative and elegant, with real structure, a velvety-soft texture and a long, spice-tinged finish. On the nose, notes of raspberry and blackberry lead into a silky, fleshy palate.
レ・マリターテ
Le Maritate
RedSangiovese · Colorino · Alicante · Ciliegiolo · Trebbiano · Malvasia
A field-blend Toscana IGT from a historic vineyard where century-old vines are still trained the ancient way — 'married' to living field maple trees rather than trellised, which gives the wine its name ('the married ones'). The mixed planting of Sangiovese, Colorino, Alicante, Ciliegiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia is co-harvested and fermented spontaneously in cement for about four weeks on the skins, then aged 12 months in cement and 6 months in bottle. Ruby red, with notes of currant and wildflowers and a fresh, slightly tannic finish.
