Introduction<br />
The <strong>Fiore</strong> <strong>Wine</strong> <strong>Collection</strong> project was born with the<br />
purpose of bringing a pool of Italian <strong>Wine</strong> Estates of<br />
primary importance to the attention of the<br />
international markets.<br />
Today, the Estates that enthusiastically joined the<br />
project, are quite few different and are located in<br />
Tuscany, Romagna, Le Marche and Umbria.<br />
Each Estate is committed to producing wines of the highest quality which<br />
exhibit distinctive terroir character, reflecting the local environment and<br />
the craft of the oenologist.<br />
The oenologists taking care of the quality aspects of these Estates products<br />
are among the most quoted ones at international level and insure, with their<br />
oenological experience, the achievement to the top levels of the produced<br />
wines by each single entity, and they are continuously supervised by the<br />
“winemaker master” Vittorio <strong>Fiore</strong>.<br />
The represented wines range goes from the different DOC and DOCG, as<br />
Chianti, Chianti Classico, Montescudaio, Isola d’Elba and Val di Cornia,<br />
Suvereto, Morellino di Scansano, Rosso Sovana and Bianco di Pitigliano,<br />
Candia dei Colli Apuani, Sagrantino and Rosso di Montefalco, Colli Perugini,<br />
Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino and Rosso Piceno.<br />
Obviously the port-folio is widened by the fabulous and celebrated “Super<br />
Tuscans” (IGTs), created by the Estates with extreme devotion and<br />
attention, 100% cultivar or blended with oenological varieties as<br />
Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino and<br />
others.<br />
Just recently, we added at our port-folio wines from Puglia and Campania.<br />

Vittorio <strong>Fiore</strong><br />
T HE O ENOLOGISTS<br />
He was born in Fortezza (BZ) on 14.05.1941, is married and has 4<br />
sons. He attended specializing studies in viticulture and oenology<br />
in S. Michele all’Adige (Trento) first, and then in Conegliano<br />
(Treviso), where, in 1961, he obtained degree in Oenology.<br />
After a decade of activity in various Northern Italy <strong>Wine</strong> Estates, he<br />
became the Director of the Associazione Enotecnici Italiani – Italian Oenologists Association (today’s<br />
Associazione Enologi Enotecnici Italiani), maintaining this task from 1970 to 1978.<br />
In this period he had the opportunity to face and study in depth all the wine-making sector basic themes, both<br />
under the legal and legislative profile (national and community) and under the more technical one.<br />
He has organized and directed many Oenological Contests, both national and international, and several<br />
Lectures on tasting and knowledge of Italian and foreign wines. As well as lectures on wine production,<br />
processing, preservation, ageing and bottling techniques.<br />
He arrives in Tuscany in 1979, where he starts a new activity conceived by himself in the 60s: the Free Lance<br />
Consultant Oenologist. In this way begins his collaboration with some <strong>Wine</strong> Estates, that are able to draw from<br />
his experience the cue for renovations, both in the vine and oenological sector.<br />
Because of his contribution he is unanimously considered one of the Tuscan vine and wine culture renewal and<br />
success author, to the point that often the Regional Government itself makes him its own ambassador for the<br />
promotion and knowledge spreading of Tuscan <strong>Wine</strong>s in the world.<br />
In 1992 he realizes his most desired dream: to give life to his own <strong>Wine</strong> Estate. In that year he buys a Farm in<br />
Ruffoli, inside Greve in Chianti municipality – Podere Poggio Scalette – that in few years becomes one of the<br />
most prestigious oenological reality both in the Region and nationwide, thanks also to the fundamental<br />
contribution of his son Jurij, qualified oenologist in Bearne (Borgogna), to whom is entrusted the estate<br />
management.<br />
Then, in 1990, he enters – as majority member, together with his brothers Gianmichele and Ermanno – the board<br />
of Castelluccio Azienda Agricola, located in Modigliana municipality, in Romagna. After renewing all the<br />
structures and giving a definite growth to the produced wines, in 2001 he entrusts this new Estate management<br />
to another of his sons, Claudio, also an oenologist, that – with the help of his wife Veruska – gives the estate a<br />
resolute quality growth.<br />
Vittorio <strong>Fiore</strong>, moreover, continues his Consultant activity for the by now numerous and important <strong>Wine</strong> Estates<br />
that avail their selves of his collaboration.<br />
He is a member of the Appeal Committee for Central Italy DOC and DOCG wines, for Ministero delle Politiche<br />
Agricole e Forestali – Agricultural and Forest Politics Ministry.<br />
As Lecturer, he is appointed to Sensorial Analysis Class chair for the university degree in Viticulture and<br />
Oenology c/o the Agricultural Faculty of Pisa’s University.<br />
Barbara Tamburini<br />
Barbara Tamburini graduates in Viticulture and Oenology at Pisa’s University on May 29th 2002, after<br />
having previously obtained the University Degree in Feeding Technologies with Guidance in<br />
Viticulture and Oenology in the year 2000.<br />
After several training periods with Tuscan <strong>Wine</strong> Estates during university studies, she starts her own<br />
Free Lance Oenologist activity in 1999 with important consultancies, that increase in number as<br />
years pass by, first in Tuscany and, later, in Umbria, Piedmont and Sicily.<br />
Animated by an intense professional curiosity, successfully tries various directions, changing from<br />
viticulture to oenology, from Sangiovese to Pinot Nero, from Merlot to Aleatico, from Vermentino to<br />
Pinot Bianco, from Moscato Passito to Vinsanto, yet keeping fixed her aim of letting the wines she<br />
takes care of first expressing the estate’s distinctive elements and then the territorial ones, always<br />
searching for the maximum quality expressions.<br />

Benevento "Sannio" is an anchent land, very rich in hystory, since Samnites times has held a<br />
very important strategic role in the region's both economical and social life, also thanks to the<br />
area's mountainous configuration.<br />
Guardiasanframondi, medieval village founded by Normans, for centuries has been<br />
motherland for important trades and since longer than 100 years ago, a very active<br />
agricoltural centre, especially in the vine growing and wine producing fields.<br />
Carlo De Lucia has made his own the area's agricoltural traditions to produce, with modern<br />
systems and a high research culture, typical wines of a superior quality, obtained from the<br />
selection of the best grapes, rich in flavours and tastes of this ancient land.<br />
Carlo De Lucia was born in Guardiasanframondi, in a family of farmers from countless generations. It is only in<br />
the beginning of the '90s, when he bets on quality, that he builds a new cellar and starts to implant new<br />
vineyards in Guyot, meaning a lower grape production, even if richer in concentration.<br />
Above all, he concentrates upon the two native grape varieties with the higher potentiality: Falanghina for<br />
the white grapes and Aglianico, for a small part of the red ones.<br />
The wine estate stretches over about 12 hectares of specialized vineyards. The ground is mostly of medium<br />
mixture. The vineyards benefit of a perfect micro-climate due both to the presence of the Appenines<br />
Mountains and the air courrents coming from the near sea.<br />

This Estate history is ancient and modern at the same time. It’s the history of<br />
the renovation of a settled profession implemented by people who, acting<br />
resolutely with tenacity and a touch of craziness, accepted the challenge<br />
to make up tradition and innovation, thanks to the willpower and to the<br />
farsightedness of trusting their own work. Villa Schinosa, sized 200 hectares,<br />
is located in the neighbours of Trani. It's a fascinating structure, that visitors<br />
perceive at the end of an oak path.<br />
Recently vineyards have been renewed. The ancient cellar built in 1884, hollowed into the Stone of Trani, has been renovated<br />
introducing production facilities that place the farm in the forefront of winemaking industry. A similar process involved the<br />
business management improving final results.<br />
The owner, Don Ferdinando Capece Minutolo dei Duchi di San Valentino, supported by his son Corrado, runs the production, while his<br />
wife Maria holds business relations. Together they monitor and choose all the production and transformation phases, choosing and<br />
winemaking exclusively their own grapes, taking advantage of the consultancy of the wine expert Cristoforo Pastore.<br />
Vineyards tell an innovative and passionate story, strictly tied to the production of quality wines. The assortment of wine bored<br />
from the vineyards is the evidence of the strong wine vocation of this land.<br />
Native grapes such as Moscato Reale di Trani, Bombino Nero, Bombino Bianco and Uva di Troia take their place side by side<br />
to grape varieties with strong personalities as Fiano, Falanghina, Aglianico and Primitivo, without ignoring international ones as<br />
Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah.<br />
Villa Schinosa wines are surely one of the most attractive surprises of last years: the Moscato di Trani doc became important<br />
among the national wines thanks to the intuition of Ferdinando Capece Minutolo who strongly believed in the best native<br />
grape of Trani, giving again a body and life to its history going against a local belief that was going to loose it.<br />
Villa Schinosa, in quality and quantity terms, hasn’t played all of its cards yet; as the capacity of these grounds still reserves<br />
many surprises. The “Renaissance” of Italian Southern <strong>Wine</strong>s sees Puglia as a main protagonist, leaving space to high quality<br />
native grapes and to extraordinary wines.<br />

Balìa di Zola, located inside Modigliana municipality, in the Romagna hills, has a surface of 15<br />
hectares, olive groves and vineyards, woods and broom, placed as amphitheatre around an old<br />
building of ancient origins. History tells of this Balìa presence already in 1700 as an important<br />
agricultural reality residence of the "Balitore", the person responsable for several holdings<br />
management.<br />
Claudio <strong>Fiore</strong> and Veruska Eluci arrived in Romagna, as a family, in 1999 and the Balìa di Zola<br />
project has made its objective the Sangiovese di Romagna improvement. This is Sangiovese land<br />
and here this tradition is carried on not by chance.<br />
At Balìa di Zola the job is firstly carried out in the vineyard, fruit of the acquired knowledge and<br />
competence, and of the believing that this territory offers all that is needed to create great wines. It<br />
all started with 2 hectares vineyard of about 40 years of age. This are now the base upon which we<br />
have worked and have provided the new implants grafts.<br />
The producing vineyard is now about 5 hectares and this amphitheatre micro-climate is surely<br />
favorable for vine growing; south - south west exposure and a balanced soil do contribute to<br />
determine these wines character: elegant, of great structure and intensity.<br />
Particular attention, while realizing the new cellar, has been put in the temperature control during<br />
all winemaking phases, as well as during the refining phase, both in barriques and bottle, to better<br />
favorite maturation and conservation of our wines, that have all the characteristics to last in time.<br />

and km 50 (mi. 30) from Bologna.<br />
Castelluccio is situated on Modigliana Hills,<br />
between Faenza and Forlì, at an altitude<br />
ranging from m. 250 to m. 500 (ft. 750 to ft.<br />
1500). We are in Romagna, in a territory that<br />
used to belong to Tuscany until the thirties,<br />
approximately km 100 (mi. 65) from Florence<br />
The total extension of Castelluccio is about fifty hectares (150 acres), with 12 hectares (36 acres) of<br />
vineyards and 2 hectares (6 acres) with olive trees. In 1975 in these badlands, made of a compact<br />
layer of marl and limestone, were located microareas called “ronchi”, particularly suitable to the<br />
production of very high quality grapes. Two grape varieties are grown in Castelluccio: Sangiovese<br />
and Sauvignon Blanc.<br />
The first one, natural expression of this land’s character, is a grape of<br />
such great generosity and personality to have an important part<br />
among the world’s greatest wines. Sauvignon Blanc, on the other<br />
hand, is not a local grape, but here in Castelluccio expresses unique<br />
features, never shown elsewhere.<br />
In 1999, Vittorio <strong>Fiore</strong> with two of his brothers, Ermanno and Gian<br />
Michele, became owners, while his son and experienced winemaker Claudio, with the help of his<br />
wife Veruska, manages today the <strong>Wine</strong>ry. <strong>Fiore</strong>, who created in the early ’80s the wines of<br />
Castelluccio and personally contributed to the international success of the <strong>Wine</strong>ry, thanks to his<br />
experience, gives a very important technical support.<br />

Ronco del Re IGT di Forlì Bianco<br />
When in 1975 we planted Sauvignon Blanc grape variety in Castelluccio, we thought of producing a great white<br />
wine that would follow the same wine making techniques, and hence maturation, as a red wine, so to develop<br />
those same complexities and characteristics Castelluccio ground and Ronco del Re micro-climate do show<br />
when meeting with Sauvignon Blanc.<br />
Ronco del Re is the wine that has brought Castelluccio prestige and pride, conquering top international<br />
acknowledgements since the 80s.<br />
A small production of about 4-5.000 bottles per year. A “gem” that – in all its complexity - expresses the<br />
terroir of the vineyard from which its name originates.<br />
Thick and gaudy in its yellow guise, it has mineral notes and very refined fragrances, between fruit and oak.<br />

Ronco delle Ginestre IGT di Forlì Rosso<br />
Ronco delle Ginestre is shaped as a basin, as a small amphitheatre overlooking the valley.<br />
It is situated at an altitude of about 300 mts, it has a very steep slope and it is surrounded by broom bushes and<br />
olive groves. Ronco delle Ginestre is the Estate’s historical Sangiovese based wine.<br />
An only clone, selected in the ’70s, with small bunch of grapes, small grapes with thick skin. Factors as these that<br />
in most cases allow to reach an optimal level of maturation.<br />
Strong, powerful and sober, Ronco delle Ginestre is son of this harsh land, generous and wild that climbs the<br />
surrounding mountains.<br />

Massicone IGT di Forlì Rosso<br />
Our Cabernet Sauvignon, so far used only as a blending component for several of our products because of its<br />
scarce quantity, has produced some extraordinary results in terms of quality after having been re-grafted<br />
and more densely planted a few years ago.<br />
After numerous evaluations and tasting, we have reached the conclusion that this product would make a<br />
perfect blend with the small-berried Sangiovese of Ronco delle Ginestre. The great complexity achieved is the<br />
result of an intense effort by Claudio <strong>Fiore</strong> and his wife; it now appears that such effort has been rewarded<br />
even beyond expectations.<br />
Massicone also constitutes an important novelty and a turning point in the life of this young and successful company.<br />

Fattoria Camporignano is in Casole d’Elsa, one of the most enchanting landscapes in Tuscany, at the centre<br />
of the triangle of land between San Gimignano, Siena and Volterra.<br />
With a cellar and 10 hectares of vineyard surrounded by 30 hectares of splendid Mediterranean maquis,<br />
production at the farm is highly focused and selective, aiming to bring out the best of the peculiarities of the<br />
land, the vines and the most meticulous working techniques, both in the countryside and in the cellar.<br />
Fattoria Camporignano produces three red wines: Camporignano, a young and soft wine, Mattaione, elegant<br />
and variegated, and Cerronero, a complex and structured wine.<br />
The production area is located on the Siennese hills. Here, at an average altitude of 300 metres above sea<br />
level, a small part of this clayey-calcareous land has been selected, typical of the area around Siena and<br />
called “Mattaione” in Tuscan dialect. Of marine origin, the land is very arid in summer, causing the root system<br />
of the vines to seek the mineral salts which give the wine its specific structure deep in the soil.<br />
Fattoria Camporignano also has a wine tasting hall and a patio with fantastic view, ready to welcome visitors<br />
and wine enthusiasts.<br />
The soil marine origin causes the vine's root system to seek deep in the soil the mineral salts that give the wine<br />
its specific structure. All vineyards were planted in 2000.<br />

La Fattoria di Ripa d’Orcia gets its name from the Castle of Ripa d’Orcia which has been<br />
representing the heart of the Farm Estate since its construction (XIII cent.). Since 1484 the Castle<br />
and its land belong to the noble family of Piccolomini (and descendants).<br />
With more than 300 hectares located at the very heart of the Orcia valley the Castle Estate has<br />
been producing fine wines and superb extra virgine olive oil for centuries combining the family<br />
traditions with modern techniques. The wines of the Castle are the result of the climate, the soil and<br />
the human culture. Along with the natural characteristics of the area the methods of cultivation are<br />
aiming to obtain high quality products.<br />
Since ever the people at Ripa d’Orcia Castle have been taking care of the land and of his natural<br />
products with great passion and tenacity. The official deeds kept at the Castle (from XVI century<br />
onwards) states that the vines and the olive trees were cultivated wherever it was viable. In<br />
particular the vineyards, either specialized or together with other productions, were concentrated<br />
near the farmhouses and in the land around the Castle – where the people could protect them<br />
from the animals and the thieves.<br />
From the end of XIX century in the different family estates the cultivation of the vines and of the<br />
olive trees was developed aiming to obtain red and white wines, sweet wine (vinsanto), vinegar<br />
and olive oil. In particular the care of the Sangioveto and Canaiolo grapes (for the red) and<br />
Trebbiano (for the white) let the people get and appreciate the fruit of this tough and rough land<br />
that can be also so generous with his inhabitants.<br />

La Fattoria is located on the top of the hill of San Quintino, 8 km from San<br />
Miniato, 44 from Pisa, and 35 from Florence. Founded in 1967, the estate now<br />
comprises 200 hectares, of which 20 are in vineyard; the remainder is<br />
covered by fields, olive groves, tree farm and poplar groves. The area’s<br />
wines have been renowned since ancient times (relevant records in the<br />
Vatican archives go back to 1508), as has the classic Tuscan extravirgin olive<br />
oil. When one leaves San Miniato and descends into the valley of the Ensi<br />
river, and climbs again to the hamlet of Volpaio, the massive San Quintino<br />
hill will be directly opposite, its slopes gently declining into the valleys of the<br />
Ensi, the Pilerno, and the Pilernaccio, all of which separate it quite distinctly<br />
from the nearby hills. After crossing the Ensi, the road that ascends to the top<br />
of the hill gradually revealing a vision of olive trees and extensive vineyards covering the slopes<br />
and the valleys below, broken only in the steepest sections by scrub woods that are the haunt of<br />
local game.<br />
The replanting of the vineyards has currently involved 50% of the total area.<br />
Two more years are expected to complete the project, and the total productive capacity will<br />
thus be reached in five years. In addition to the types of wines currently produced, we are<br />
carrying out field trials and microvinifications in the cellar with native grape varieties.<br />
Our up-to-date system of replantings, plus new technical cellar equipment, demonstrate our<br />
determination to follow the philosophy of absolute quality, with full respect for ancient traditions.<br />

Giuliano Tiberi Azienda Agricola is a 20 hectares estate of vines and olive groves in<br />
the Montalbano area, south of Pistoia, on the hills overlooking Casalguidi village.<br />
It was born in 1998 from a clear choice of the owner, who left behind a work as a<br />
chemical to become an olive and vine grower, with the aim of producing the<br />
highest quality products, strongly tied to the land of origin.<br />
The vineyard presently in production is characterised by vines that are over 25<br />
years old.<br />
The wine “Le Vespe”, Rosso di Toscana I.G.T., is the outcome of<br />
the efforts made to improve the indigenous black grape vines<br />
present throughout the vineyard.<br />
The other goal, to which they have worked since 2002, is carrying<br />
out new plantings to create a pure merlot wine, that will become<br />
the farm leading wine. Choices made with regard to viniculture<br />
go hand in hand with winemaking plans, which foresee the<br />
construction of a new cellar, equipped with the latest<br />
technology.<br />

The Estate is situated in Suvereto, a small medieval village inside the<br />
Leghorn province. It is just over 4 miles away from the sea-side,<br />
opposite Isola d’Elba (Elba Island), and the hills surrounding it look like<br />
an amphitheatre in the marvellous Val di Cornia (Cornia Valley). The<br />
perfect geographical position, the closeness with the sea and the<br />
woods’ summer freshness make of Suvereto an ideal tourist<br />
destination.<br />
Azienda Agricola Gualdo del Re has a total extension of about 40 hectares. The<br />
vineyards are located at half hill, about 100 mts over sea level, on pebble, clayish, low<br />
fertility soils, that, together with the brightness and the particular micro-climate, make<br />
of Suvereto territory an ecological hollow with strong vocation towards great<br />
structured wines. Vines are raised in the traditional forms, Guyot and traditional cordon<br />
ramming with very low bud rate per hectare. Implants density is about 6.500 plants per<br />
hectare. No irrigation practice is carried out, although vines do suffer a light summer<br />
drought.<br />
Concerning the origin of the peculiar name of the<br />
Estate, it dates back to the Longobards age (German<br />
people who conquered Italy: 568 - 774), when the<br />
whole of Val di Cornia was submitted to Lucca’s Dukes<br />
and it belonged to the Waldo or Gualdo del Re (the<br />
King’s Waldo). The word Gualdo, originating from the<br />
German word Wald, means an extension of a wooden<br />
territory, then it came to indicate the marvellous site<br />
kept for the special use of its Lord.<br />

The Vineyard “La Calonica” is near “Le Capezzine” in the centre of a wine producing area of<br />
the very high quality, part on the hills of Valiano, in Montepulciano and part in Cortona<br />
territory.<br />
The Estate is made of two separate farms: “La Calonica” and “Capezzine Vecchie”. Both are<br />
located on soft hills with gentle slopes, together they form the entire productive and cultural<br />
entity of about 50 hectare, of which 38 are vineyards. Vines planted in the “Nobile di<br />
Montepulciano” area are DOCG and those in the “Cortona” one are DOC.<br />
Since 1972 the property has belonged to the Cattani Family who personally supervises the<br />
production and sale of the wines. Valiano area has special characteristics deriving from the<br />
influence of Lake Trasimeno, guarantee of mild winters and not too dry summers, permitting<br />
the vines to have a regular vegetative cycle. “La Calonica” is on the top of a hill about 350 m.<br />
a.s.l. The complete absence of other hills nearby gives an ideal ventilation to the vines as well<br />
as an outstanding view.<br />
The vineyards are for the most part planted with ‘Sangiovese di Montepulciano’ (prugnolo<br />
gentile). ‘Canaiolo Nero’, and some varieties with a white grape such as, ‘Sauvignon’, ‘La<br />
Malvasia del Chianti’ and ‘Il Grechetto’ complete the patrimony of the vineyard of “La<br />
Calonica”. In recent years both on the side of Montepulciano and Cortona some hectares of<br />
‘Merlot’ and ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ have been planted. From these vines, wines of great<br />
structure and elegance have been produced suitable for a lengthy ageing. The Cortona DOC<br />
of La Calonica, ‘Il Girifalco’, is made of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as Sangiovese.<br />
The ageing cellars are placed in the old farm buildings, in traditional style, with barrels of<br />
Slovenian Oak of various capacities. The thick walls of the old farm and the internal dividing<br />
walls of the cellar help to maintain a constant temperature for the ageing process. The wine<br />
cellars and bottling plants are modern.<br />

Our History La Querce is a small wine estate only few kms away from Florence, on Impruneta hills<br />
that spread in the classic Chianti territory. It has been named after a huge oak tree, chopped<br />
down during Second World War, that shaded the chapel near the Thirteen Century Villa that is the<br />
estate’s centre.<br />
In 1962 the estate was bought by Gino Marchi, father of Massimo, the current<br />
owner.Since hundreds of years we produce wine and olive oil from the grapes<br />
and olives harvested in our fields grown with great passion.In the Seventies we<br />
started bottling our wine and olive oil, and since then the quality of our<br />
products has continued to improve.<br />
Villa La Querce The Villa was built in 1500 from a towered “Palagio” (building)<br />
of the Twelfth Century, property of Santa Maria Nova Hospital, for possible<br />
usage as a hospital or hermitage, destined to the travelers going to the<br />
Basilica of Santa Maria dell’Impruneta. During the years it belonged to several<br />
Florentine families, until in 1962 was acquired by Gino Marchi, who in the<br />
following years started restoration works that also involved the whole estate.<br />
Our vineyards Our vineyards are about 8 hectares, exposed<br />
south, and all of them are planted with traditional local vines:<br />
Sangiovese (the majority), Canaiolo, Colorino, Malvasia,<br />
Trebbiano. A 2 hectares vineyard has been re-planted in 1999<br />
with a density of 3.500 plants/ha, a second 3 hectares<br />
vineyard has been renewed in 2003 with a density of 5.200<br />
plants/ha, while other 3 hectares have been planted in the<br />
Sixties with a density of 2200 plants/ha. All of them are grown<br />
with spur cordon with a return per plant of about 1,2 Kg<br />
grapes.<br />

IL PARADISO DI FRASSINA<br />
Località Frassina 41 – 53024 Montalcino (Siena), Tuscany<br />

Il Paradiso di Frassina is situated 5 km from Montalcino, in a secluded<br />
position but within easy reach of the town. In all directions it enjoys<br />
splendid views of the unique and well-known Sienese landscape: on one<br />
side it looks towards the charming town of Montalcino while on the other it<br />
looks towards gentle hills given to grazing, or to fields of corn and<br />
sunflowers. Surrounded by an amphitheatre of vineyards, the old stone<br />
house Paradiso di Frassina, presents a series of roofs, which bear witness to<br />
the foundation and development of what was essential to the farm: the<br />
central farmhouse, the old cellars, the store rooms, the pigstyes and the<br />
other outbuildings. Today Paradiso di Frassina is coming back to life as<br />
every traditional aspect has been respected by the careful refurbishing<br />
carried out by Diana Grandi and Carlo Cignozzi, a well-known winemaker<br />
and a conoisseur of this part of Tuscany. The old cellars and outbuildings<br />
have been rebuilt and they are once more given over to the production<br />
and storage of wine. The main house is now the home and the gathering<br />
point of those who want to wish to savour the rich produce of this land<br />
while relaxing in its beauty.<br />
THE MUSIC AMONG THE WINES<br />
"In the past I often played my accordeon to the grape pickers working in<br />
the vineyards, and my feeling was that the harmony of music created a<br />
magic atmosphere around the grapes and the must.<br />
At Il Paradiso di Frassina I decided to bring to life the musical project connected with the vineyards and the wine that had<br />
been dwelling in my mind for some time. I filled the cellars with the sound of music, then extended the experiment to the<br />
vineyards around Il Paradiso di Frassina that produce Brunello wine.<br />
The effect coming from the music spreading through the vines is highly evocative. Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Scarlatti are the<br />
favourite composers of the foliage season of the vine, and the symphonic composers such as Beethoven and Mahler are<br />
notes that prevail in the rows of vines during ripening, to scare off the grape predators.<br />
This original experiment has recently aroused the interest of the researchers of the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of<br />
Florence. Together we are studying in vitro as well as in the fields the possible effects that sound frequencies generate on the<br />
plant of the vine both in the rooting system, in the foliage and in the flower. Special attention is given to the pathology of the<br />
parasites and the fungi. It may be sometime before positive conclusions can be reached, and in the meantime I enjoy the<br />
pleasure that comes from giving music to wine, which is undoubtedly a wonderful way to produce poetry and to carry out<br />
research!"<br />

This wine expresses the complex relationship between twelve grapes that come from various roots and<br />
traditions. The perceptions and emotions given by this wine can be compared to a symphony in continuous<br />
progress.<br />
As a consequence, the result of each harvest is a unique product originated by an “ensemble” of grapes<br />
that are always different and that are chosen for excellence of their ripening. “DO”12 UVE’s character makes<br />
this wine to accompany dishes of the farming tradition as well as game, roasts, red meats and seasoned<br />

PODERE CAPACCIA<br />
Loc. Capaccia · 53017 Radda in Chianti (Siena), Italy<br />
Tel (+39) 0577 738-385 · Fax (+39) 077 738-385<br />
www.poderecapaccia.com · info@poderecapaccia.com<br />
Podere Capaccia is<br />
situated in a stunning<br />
hilltop location<br />
surrounded by<br />
vineyards, olive groves<br />
and chestnut trees and<br />
dominates the<br />
surrounding valley, run through the Pesa river, that has its source nearby.<br />
It is a small farming business specialising in the production of high quality wine and olive oil. The<br />
buildings that make up Capaccia are the remains of a medieval village dating back to the 12th<br />
and 14th Century. The farm was inhabited and productive until shortly after the Second World War<br />
when, in common with much of rural Italy, the buildings were abandoned as their owners left to<br />
follow their fortunes elsewhere.<br />
In the early 1970’s Podere Capaccia was bought by the Pacini family. They had a history of wine<br />
making both in Chile and in Italy. Giampaolo Pacini worked to produce high quality wines from<br />
land which had been unused for 20 years and his new vineyards along with carefully thought out<br />
agricultural methods succeeded in realizing his ambition.<br />
By the early 21st Century Pacini had decided to retire from the wine business and to sell the<br />
property. In October 2005 it was bought by Joseph and Alison King who, whilst very appreciative of<br />
good wines, had had no intention of buying a vineyard.<br />
Captivated by its wonderful position they decided to buy Capaccia and run it as a boutique<br />
vineyard, produce some live oil and restore the buildings, some of which would be available to<br />
rent. We were fortunate to have inherited the respected enologist Vittorio <strong>Fiore</strong> from Pacini and he<br />
was instrumental in the selection of Donato Alvin to run the vineyard. The agronomist Dottore<br />
Panchero was also engaged to advise on the overall agricultural plans for the property.<br />

technology was modified by using the technique of late harvesting and ageing the wine<br />

Podere la Marronaia is a small and welcoming farmhouse<br />
situated on a small hill amongst vineyards and olive groves,<br />
close to the historical centre of San Gimignano (2km). The<br />
historical origin is lost in the past; testimony recalls that here<br />
around 1200 AD a spotting tower stood amongst the chestnut<br />
trees being part of the city wall defences. The first full description as “Podere” appears in the<br />
esteem of the borough of San Gimignano in 1536, when it was quoted amongst the numerous farm<br />
properties of the Ficarelli family, a wealthy family from San Gimignano.<br />
No more is heard of the holding until 1630, when it became part of the property of the nuns of the<br />
Monastero di S. Girolamo who probably bought it or received it in donation.<br />
In 1789 following reforms introduced by the Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo di<br />
Toscana, many convents where suppressed and their property contents put on<br />
auction. Amongst the suppressed contents of the Monastero di San Girolamo<br />
also figured the Podere la Marronaia or Marronaia. From that day no true<br />
voice has been heard regarding the property of the holding until recently.<br />
In the year 2000 the Dei family, in love with this area, bought the holding and after<br />
renovating, made it their residence and actual business activity. Today the Podere<br />
la Marronaia Farmhouse is dedicated to tourist accommodation and farming<br />
activity with biological production of wine and extra virgin olive oil.<br />

PODERE POGGIO SCALETTE became an independent<br />
<strong>Wine</strong> Estate in 1991, when Vittorio <strong>Fiore</strong> and his wife<br />
Adriana Assjè di Marcorà bought, on the Ruffoli hill - in<br />
Greve in Chianti Municipality (Florence) – several land<br />
plots and a rural building from an inheritance division<br />
and disposal of several real estate pieces, including<br />
farm houses, vineyards, olive groves, pasture and<br />
woods, that had been neglected for years, since the<br />
death of the previous owner. In 1996, another plot was<br />
added, following the purchase of the adjacent<br />
property, provided with working cellar and extensive<br />
buildings, bringing the Estate total area to about 40<br />
hectares (around 80 acres).<br />
Taking care of each and every aspect of the Estate are<br />
Vittorio <strong>Fiore</strong>’s wife, Adriana Assjè di Marcorà, and his<br />
son Jurij <strong>Fiore</strong> (qualified Technicien Superieur en<br />
Viticolture and Oenologie a Beaune – Borgogna –<br />
France), with his supervision.<br />
The slope of the Greve valley, between Greve in Chianti<br />
and the Panzano fraction, facing west (Ruffoli hill), is<br />
unanimously considered one of the best sites to grow<br />
vines and olive trees, in order to gain the maximum<br />
quality expressions thus obtaining the great Chianti<br />
Classico Area wines and the marvellous extra virgin olive<br />
oil.<br />
The vineyards and olive groves of PODERE POGGIO<br />
SCALETTE are located in an area ranging between 350<br />
and 500 mts above sea level. The Estate’s name<br />
originates from the landscape of the surrounding hills,<br />
distinguished by marvellous dry stone walls, built to<br />
support terraces of all sizes, on which vines and olive<br />
trees groves alternate according to the soil<br />
characteristics and that – when seen from a distance –<br />
give the impression of a series of stairs climbing the<br />
Ruffoli hill slopes.<br />
On these terraces and on a large land plot named “I L<br />
C ARBONAIONE” by local farmers, are situated Sangiovese<br />
vines that – we discovered – have been the first vines to<br />
be planted in the decade following the end of World<br />
War I (1914-1918), following the destruction of most of<br />
European vineyards because of Philloxera, towards the<br />
end of 1800s.<br />
Thus these are vines that have reached the venerable<br />
age of over 70 years and that are, without doubt, one of<br />
the very rare – if not the only – examples of the famous<br />
“Sangiovese di Lamole” original clone presence inside<br />
the Chianti Classico territory.<br />

The Poggio Torselli estate sprawls over the Tuscan hills in the<br />
municipality of San Casciano in Val di Pesa. This is Chianti Classico<br />
country. The superb landscape offers sweeping views over about<br />
30 hectares of verdant vineyards and 2,700 olive trees. In the<br />
Tuscan countryside, fragrances and colors intoxicate the senses of<br />
those who love and cherish them, an instinct that is second nature<br />
at Poggio Torselli. In more practical terms, Poggio Torselli’s mission<br />
is to pass on the savors and colors of this noble land, by<br />
maintaining a healthy balance of modern agronomic techniques<br />
and respect for the territory as a whole.<br />
The Poggio Torselli philosophy can be summed up in a single<br />
concept – our indissoluble bond with the terroir. By terroir, we<br />
mean a way of living in the country and cultivating its fruits. We<br />
see our working life as a never-ending exchange of ideas<br />
between ancient traditions and new generations of growers, in the<br />
hillside setting that makes Poggio Torselli wines unique and<br />
inimitable.<br />
The rows of sun-kissed vines, cooled in the valley’s shadow, stand<br />
on varying slopes with varying aspects to create a fitting<br />
backdrop for the historic Villa Poggio Torselli. From the Villa’s<br />
strategic position, a single glance can embrace the estate’s entire<br />
vine stock. Each variety has its place, interpreting the territory in<br />
full respect of the changing soil types and range of hillside<br />
aspects.<br />
Planning wines means taking and implementing decisions on the<br />
estate, from land management to water retention, selecting<br />
varieties and clones, and adopting training systems. Every decision<br />
is carefully weighed against the final objective, our synthesis of<br />
quality, tradition and respect for the territory.<br />

The name of the Estate originates from the dialectal term "Scurtarola", used<br />
to indicate a short-cut; while the small road that, through Candia’s<br />
vineyards, joins Massa’s suburbs with Carrara town was, and still is, known as<br />
“viottolo della scurtarola” (scurtarola’s path).<br />
The Estate area extends over a territory of more than 5 hectares, on hill<br />
ground, that are, since ancient tradition, cultivated with vines. The soil<br />
characteristics, made of quartz-feldspathic sandstone with clay and<br />
siltstone, a micro-climate favourited by the sea presence and the lucky vineyards exposure towards<br />
South, make Azienda Agricola Podere Scurtarola an excellent production area for Candia dei Colli<br />
Apuani,white and red wines obtained exclusively with native cultivars.<br />
The Estate, among terraces hold by dry-stone walls, is located on the top of Gioiello Hill, belonging to the<br />
Candia Hills territory, an area covered by pine woods, heather, juniper and myrtle. The vine cultivated<br />
here, deepening its roots among the sandstone and clay layers, are able to extract, besides the water<br />
they need to carry on the photosynthesis, a great quantity of minerals, that are then translated in the<br />
wines’ refined taste and unmistakable bouquets. With these selected grapes are produced Candia<br />

The Azienda Agricola Suberlì spreads over fourteen hectares of the Maremma hills between the<br />
Tyrrhenian coast and Scansano, near Montiano, a small XIV century hamlet, at an altitude of<br />
approximately 220 meters above sea level in a well-exposed and well-ventilated area. Five of its<br />
hectares are designeted for specialized vines while the rest are planted fields.<br />
The land is mainly divided into big banks of quartziferous sandstone alternated with fine ground<br />
giving the soil optimal drainage. Being a modest sized family-run Estate, the production process is<br />
directly managed by the owner with the consultation of an enologist.<br />

Tenuta Roccaccia estate, belonging to<br />
Rossano and Danilo Goracci, is located in<br />
a characteristic hill area of volcanic tufa<br />
rock, set at 310 meters above sea level,<br />
near Pitigliano.<br />
More than 30 hectares of vines produce<br />
low yields of grape per hectare and here<br />
are privileged cultivation methods<br />
designed to respect both nature and<br />
environment.<br />
Grapes are harvested by hand and the wine is fermented under strictly controlled temperatures<br />
and a gentle pressing, then matured and refined in stainless steel vats and small casks of French<br />
oak. These methods allow Roccaccia estate to offer a wine responding to the modern consumer<br />
requests and, at the same time, capable of keeping its strong local roots.<br />

Goretti vineyards are situated in Perugia outskirts and extend over a hilly region<br />
dominated by a fourteenth century tower of historic value, which is also the<br />
emblem on the Goretti wine labels.<br />
The property is located in the centre of an area classified as: "D.O.C. Colli<br />
Perugini".<br />
The cellars have been handed down from father to son and combine an<br />
antique tradition of wine-making (typical of the culture from Umbria) with the<br />
most sophisticated modern techniques.<br />
The commitment taken on by the family members,<br />
Stefano and Gianluca Goretti being at the present the<br />
responsible, is the research and selection of the typical<br />
grapes from Umbria (Grechetto, Trebbiano, Sangiovese)<br />
and the introduction of grapes, such as a Chardonnay,<br />
which are not widely spread throughout Umbria, with<br />
the aim to raise the classification of Umbrian wine within<br />
the domestic and international level.<br />
