Originally an important Etruscan settlement that flourished for many centuries, the lower Cecina Valley with its temperate climate, fertile soil, sea breezes and plentiful sunshine was favoured for the cultivation of vines which produced a full-bodied wine which the Etruscans kept in Anforae, many of which were unearthed in the area.
At the time, the Cecina Valley was part of the territory of Volterra, one of the most important of the Etruscan city states especially from the 4th century BC., today one of the most important Etruscan sites in the world.
In addition to growing native varieties such as Sangiovese and Vermentino, the estate now also grows white and red French varieties, of which Cabernet Franc stands out, and together with a small percentage of Merlot and Petit Verdot makes up the estate’s most important wine, Cru La Regola. The estate also makes a Trebbiano, Malvasia and Colombana passito wine and a classic method sparkling wine of special finesse and long mouth-feel, made from Gros Manseng. With its new eco-friendly cellars powered with clean energy, the firm’s goal is to transmit the values of a unique local area, where nature has come down from the Etruscans to the present day uncontaminated, and expresses a constant, respectful balance between man and the environment.
