The winery, which has been recently completed, was built using the most modern and innovative technologies so as to ensure a continuous production monitoring and to obtain the highest quality.
Our dream?
To put together a winery
which produces high quality wines,
with an international ambition,
in a place which for us relates
to our loved ones and
our memories.
Knowing how to make wine means finding the right balance between all the factors that have to be taken into account when making a wine. It means knowing how to give each component of the terroir its right importance. Terrain management, bearing in mind microclimatic characteristics in relation to the growth cycle of the plant, deciding which is the right time to harvest, from harvesting systems and wine-making technologies to the choice of blends. Knowing how to make wine requires a perfect understanding between the wine maker, the cellar man, the oenologist and the owner to guarantee the continuous transformation of the grapes into wine and enable the characteristics that distinguish the terrain to emerge.
Ilaria Pietromarchis life as a child was divided between the familiar landscape of the Maremma with its Holm-oak woods, its myrtle bushes and its pine forests and Rome, where she graduated in Statistics. Ilaria then went on to specialise in Economics in the United States and finally moved to London. But plants with ancient trunks are deeply rooted. Which is why, having married Massimo Tosato, Ilaria set to work on her project, which would become the splendid Villa Pinciana. This was the birth of a company focussed on producing high quality wines, in a land that is naturally inclined to the creation of splendid nectar, as has been proven in the past by the Bolgheri experience.
Ilaria and Massimo took on the challenge from day one under the guidance of oenologist Paolo Caciorgna and of the agronomist Edoardo Pastorelli. Their working relationship lead to the birth of nine hectares of mainly local vines, (Sangiovese, Pugnitello and Vermentino), which were combined with French vines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Syrah. The recent construction of the winery, with a barrique cellar and the refining room interred in the hill (at optimal temperatures and humidity for the wines evolution) has enabled them to avail themselves of technologies which are respectful of the grapes. From this winery today, comes a production which is limited in quantity but of very high quality.
