Luca, the owner, has taken all possible care in the choice of every detail: the best land where planting new vineyards and the most modern equipment in order to reach a production of quality wines. Success started with the red wine "Piano" I.G.T. which have followed the white "Tagete" and the "Sesterzo" ORCIA D.O.C.
