In the year of 1997, Alberto Carnasciali and his wife Franca Buzzegoli , bought a plot of land of roughly 15 hectares, in the municipality of Magliano in Tuscany (Grosseto) with the intent of creating a winery in an area that is adapted for high quality red wines but not completely discovered yet.
The business is situated on the outskirts of the wildlife park of Maremma on a hill pointing towards the south-east, with soil of chalky origin predominantly sandy.
Immediately after the purchase work began on the ground for the creation of the vineyards that have been placed at an altitude that goes from 170 m up till 260 m above sea level and they cover a surface area of roughly 13 hectares with a plant density of roughly 5.300 plants per hectare.
Since the beginning the company choice has been based on Morellino of Scansano considering that the company is located in one of the areas most adapted for the production of Morellino ( the wine passed from D.O.C. to D.O.C.G. after the grape harvest in 2007 ) dedicating more than 8 (hectares) of vineyard for this, while in the remaining part Merlot and Cabaret Sauvignon grapes are planted for the production of I.G.T. Maremma Tuscany “Cupinero”.
The aim of the company is to produce high quality products therefore the company has chosen to have a low level of production from the vineyard together with a selection of the best parts of the vineyard. The grape harvest is carried out by hand and complying with the maturation times for all types of grapes.
In the wine cellar the chosen grapes are vinificated inside inox steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The maturation of the more prestigious wines takes place in French oak barrels (barriques).
The company produces roughly 70.000 bottles of which about 45.000 are Morellino “Col di Bacche”, 12.500 bottles are from the selection “Rovente” and 12.500 of I.G.T. Maremma Toscana “Cupinero”.
