Winery Profile
- Fattoria di Romignano is located in the heart of Tuscany, 30 km south of Florence. The owners bought the property in the early 1900s and have been producing wine since then.
- They separated the existing vineyards from the other cultivations (olives, wheat, beans) and created a well-balanced environment obtaining high quality grapes. The soil is characterized by a mixture of clay and sand and the slopes have a southern exposure.
- Today fifty acres are dedicated to the vineyards and twenty-five to the olive trees, integrally cultivated with biological techniques. The whole process, from harvesting to bottling, is conducted at the farm under the supervision of qualified agronomists and oenologists.
