At the beginning of the seventies, the production of cereals and wines began, with the planting of one hectare of vineyards in addition to the existing one, and the marketing of wine in demijohns, "large 54-liter glass bottles". On Valentine's Day 2000, we bottled our first Sangiovese wine, obtaining the controlled designation of origin "Orcia", contributing to the improvement of quality by using barriques for aging. In 2002, we decided to make a superior quality wine based on Sangiovese by adding 15% of round leaf which we called ARCERE. Given the success we decided to transpose the teachings of the "case" also to the production of oil, harvesting only olives of the "Frantoio" variety in the first days of November, achieving excellent qualitative results, with this oil we had the award of the best oil in the country in 2011. After the 2013, superior quality with Sangiovese "carro stellato" It is possible to book a tasting of our wines.
