La Fralluca, Ciparisso 2016

We only work with grapes we grow, in our vineyards. During the harvest the hand-picked grapes are placed in small boxes and taken quickly into the winery where they are immediately processed. The harvest and wine-making are just the process that end an year of work, the aim of our winemaking philosophy is to preserve the characteristics given to the grapes by the terroir, the vintage and our vineyard work. We follow and respect tradition, without giving up technology, the desire to experiment or a pinch of creativity.

When we met and fell in love in 1998 we were working in the fashion industry in Milan. Both economics graduates, we discovered that we had two powerful emotions in common: a passion for wine and the desire to have together a family with children. Dreaming an idyllic life making wine in the warm Tuscany, we began looking for a plot of land on which to build our dream and we got off to a flying start by meeting and securing the services of the famous consultant, Federico Curtaz.

After three years of searching for the perfect spot, we fell in love (again) at first sight, but this time with a plot of land in the wine appellation of Suvereto, in the coastal Tuscany, where on a patio of a run down country home we started to imagine the project and the first glass of our wine.

The site is beautiful. Lovely, with a magnificent view of the hills up to Monteverdi and the Cornate mauntains, behind Massa Marittima, miles of unspoiled woods and Mediterranean scrub, absolutely wild and romantic. Passion and enthusiasm are still driving us , the joy of being able to work with our hands and with our ideas and the luck to be able to touch the results of our efforts will always pay off.
