Estate-grown fruit, organic & biodynamic; only the best parcels of Trebbiano are selected for this. Destemmed grapes spend three months with skins and a further 6 months in local clay amphoras once the juice has been pressed. Unfined, unfiltered, tiny bit of sulphur at bottling

Fattoria di Sammontana is an organic and biodynamic farm located in Montelupo Fiorentino, along the Arno Valley, just 20 Km. from Florence. They tend about 13 hectares of vineyards and more than 3,000 olive trees planted between 70 and 150 meters above sea level. The soil is alluvial and is full of stones, gravel, and pebbles of various sizes that are technically referred to as “skeletons”. This soil, usually defined as “ungrateful”, is the one that gives character and personality to their wines. They vinify their wines naturally, with fermentation using wild yeasts since 2007. Certified organic since 2009 and started biodynamic viticulture in 2012.
