CAPALBIO and surroundings

Capalbio is an ancient village surrounded by the Maremma countryside.
Within its walls you can breathe the atmosphere of centuries past, walking through the alleys, small squares and ancient walkways, you have the impression of going back in time.
Today Capalbio is a tourist destination that can appreciate the art, nature, and flavors of an extremely protected and safeguarded place.
In the village of Capalbio, from the crenellated tower of the Aldobrandeschi castle and its walls, you can admire a panorama of extraordinary beauty. Among the highlights are the 15th-century church of San Nicola and the Oratory of Providence, with its fresco attributed to Pinturicchio.
Nature as a whole, the WWF oasis near Lake Burano, the sea, and the very long beach are a precious asset for Capalbio.
Capalbio's food and wine are equally impressive: its wines and game-based cuisine are internationally renowned.
We conclude by recalling the magnificent work of the artist Niki De Saint Phalle which is the Tarot Garden.

Maremma, wine hills

Over the past 10 years, southern Maremma Tuscany has seen a significant growth in the number of wineries, increasingly focused on high quality and sustainable production. Alongside the ubiquitous Sangiovese, today we find large plots of international grape varieties, expertly blended with native grapes to produce wonderful wines. Among the whites, the undisputed king is Vermentino.

Visiting the Vignaioli's wineries is a fascinating experience, a mix of history, love, and knowledge.

Farm 414

“414” is the number assigned to the estate by the “Ente Maremma” during the agrarian reform of 1960.

With this reform, the lands that remained from the large landowners' estates were given for cultivation to families from all over Italy, called "assignatari".
These families inherited a wild and uncontaminated land that forced them to rely on a difficult agriculture, often tied to subsistence; for this reason, the Tuscan Maremma still retains its original spirit intact today.

We have been working in this territory, nestled between the sea and the hills, since 1998, producing the wines of “Podere 414” following what nature suggests year after year.

Villa Acquaviva

The Acquaviva farm was founded in 1984 when Mr. Serafino D'Ascenzi, the current owner, purchased the estate from the Ciacci Marquises.

Initially there were only three hectares of white vineyards which Mr. Serafino then increased with red ones, reaching the current extension of 20 hectares.

Different types of grape varieties: Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera, Alicante, Trebbiano, Chardonnay, Verdello, Riesling, Vermentino, Cabernet Sauvignon.
