The producer

The Donne Fittipaldi vineyards were re-established in 1992 after an extensive restoration to bring it back to its former glory. The property covers 46 hectares surrounding La Pineta farmhouse. The farmhouse is one of 12 rural shanties which, in 1870, count Walfredo della Gherardesca transformed from simple cabins into real farmhouses, each with its own vineyard and olive orchard, and today the area includes new vines. This is a modern company, but strongly linked to the tradition. The wine making philosophy is oriented to the Bolgheri area's local traditions. The wines are produced with a natural process to fully preserve their organoleptic properties. No artificial stabilizers are used.
