Winemaker Notes
The Castelvecchio estate extends over a plateau 145 meters above sea level, it is the first karst rise from the Isonzo di Sagrado and opens up to the the Alps to the north and the Adriatic Sea to the south.
The rich landscape provides stunning 360° views which merge with the noble and ancient origins of the town Castelnuovo di Sagrado. The Villa Della Torre in Valsassina-Hofer-Hohenlohe can still be admired as evidence of the long history of the place, together with its suggestive park of cypresses, yews and centuries-old oaks.
The Terraneo family has been carrying out an agricultural, agritourism, historical and cultural development project since 1986, with passion and constant dedication.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
