We produce our wines from the Tuscan and Lucchese vines of our estate. We still use the ancient wine cellar which has been used since the 17th century for the vinification of grapes for the personal use and consumption of the owners. The result? One white and five reds suitable for different accompaniments and occasions.

The tradition of vin santo belongs to the history of the Farmhouse Maionchi. For ageing, we still use the ancient vinsantaia dating back to the 17th century, taking advantage of its perfect microclimate.
The Lucca school calls for the use of white Colombana grapes, while the Tuscan school calls for the use of red Sangiovese grapes. Our vin santo brings them together, following both traditions.
For the vinification, we carry it out as in the past. We dry the grapes on bamboo in a special room. After three months, we harvest them, press them and let them age for seven years in small chestnut barrels called caratelli.
