When we took over our small company close to the city of Siena twenty years ago, in the first place we replanted a large part of the vineyards and, on the occasion, above all out of curiosity and a great desire for knowledge and experimentation, we introduced into our viticultural heritage proudly Tuscan, even a very modest quantity of Merlot vines. Since this very small vineyard has reached a good physiological maturity we vinify it in purity and we mature it in a French oak tonneau. The result is a wine of excellence, truly particular and intriguing that we offer, given the small and non-reproducible quantity, in our Personal Edition.
When we took over our small company twenty years ago near the city of Siena, in addition to a very small plot of Merlot, we planted 7 rows of Cabernet Franc. The first in Tuscany, not to be different, but because by studying our terroir we realized that it had those characteristics whereby the Cabernet Franc grapes, if properly ripened and well vinified and aged, could offer us a wine that is not for everyone , but exciting and strongly character. The first years of production disappointed our expectations, a wine that was too herbaceous and tannic but, from the tenth harvest, when the plants reached their physiological maturity, here was the big surprise: a fruity wine where the raspberry replaced the herbaceous, thick, intense and almost moving. Given the very small quantity that we are able to produce, it has rightfully become part of the wines of our Personal Edition.

Pecorino is an extremely representative white grape variety for Abruzzo, and Jasci & Marchesani manages to give us a beautiful expression. Hand picked, vinification in white and aging for 6 months in steel vats and bottle.
Captivating ruby red, characteristic fruity aromas with hints of vanilla, balsamic vinegar and black olive. Full bodied, powerful, yet very balanced with flavors of mulberry, currant, dark chocolate and a long smoky finish.

Taste the Authenticity of Natural Wines!
Natural wines are an increasingly popular choice among consumers, offering a unique and authentic taste experience. If you're looking to learn more about natural wines and how to try them, you've come to the right place. In this article we will look at what natural wines are, how they are made, and how they can best be savored.
What is a Natural Wine?
A natural wine is a wine produced without the use of additives, pesticides or other chemicals. Natural wines are produced only with grapes, water and yeast, and are produced in a way that best preserves the natural taste of the grape. They are also generally produced in small quantities which means that each bottle of natural wine is unique and offers a unique tasting experience.
How Are Natural Wines Made?
Natural wines are produced using grapes, water and yeast. The production process is very different from that used to produce conventional wines. The first thing to know is that natural winemakers do not use additives, pesticides or other chemicals. Instead, they try to work with the grape in order to best preserve its natural flavor, carefully choosing the plants and carefully tending the vines.
Once the grapes have been harvested, they are macerated for 12-14 days at a controlled temperature. This leads to a greater extraction of aromas and flavors which give the wine its rich complexity. The wine is then fermented in wooden barrels or concrete vats. This fermentation process is slow and can last from two to six months. Fermentation in wooden barrels gives the wine added complexity, while fermentation in concrete vats gives the wine greater freshness.
How to Taste a Natural Wine?
Savoring a natural wine is a unique experience that offers a rich complexity of aromas and flavours. To better enjoy a natural wine, it is important to prepare the glass properly. The glass should be rinsed with warm water and dried with a soft cloth to remove any chemical residue. Therefore, the glass should be filled up to half with wine to get a good oxygenation.
Once ready, take a sip of the wine and savor it slowly. Savor the color, aroma, taste and texture of the wine. Try to get all the aromas and flavors of grapes, like fruit, grass, hay, chocolate and so on. Also taste the complexity of the wine, feeling how the aromas and flavors evolve over time.
Conclusion
