The winery is located in the municipality of Barberino Val d'Elsa (province of Florence) in the Italian region of Tuscany. The origin lies in an old Tuscan farmhouse. The farm was founded in 1980 by Vincenzo D'Isanto, a native of Florence, who planted the first vineyard. From 2005 onwards, his wife Antonella was also fully involved with the winery. Since 2017 the business has been managed by daughter Diana. The vineyards cover seven hectares of vines, some of which are in the immediate vicinity of the winery and others a few kilometres away. They are planted with the red wine varieties Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Mammolo. Only our own grapes are processed, which are exclusively obtained by selective manual harvesting in the vineyard and then rechecked on the conveyor belt.
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
