The wind plays a very important role in the growth and preservation of the vineyards. Our neighbors the Tyrrhenian Sea (7 miles southwest) and Mount Amiata (25 miles northward), create a constant breeze that provides sodium and iodine to the vineyards; qualities that are also naturally found in the wine.

Maremma, virgin and uncontaminated, from the mountains it slopes gently downward towards the sea. Its hills are covered with majestic oaks and olive trees ; inspiring peace and serenity. Once a desolate land, where malaria and drought dominated, today it is a place of wild natural beauty that contains clear rivers and lakes as well as a coastline which is mostly deserted.
Incredibly uninhabited, at the centre of a territory that has the highest concentration of history and art in the world ; the maremma emerges from hard and painful natural selection, a heritage from the past for a future that is aware and in harmony with nature.
