Fertile
soils and gentle slopes. The embrace of the sea breezes with a territory, the Maremma, strong and tough. A genuine and indomitable origin which is able to improve an art that was found here before anywhere else: making wine. This area, where once the undauntedness of the miners was rooted, is now the territory of Tenuta Casteani. Eighty hectares stretched out between the metalliferous hills and the sea, covered by vineyards, coppice woods, macchia mediterranea and a redesigned area to accommodate tourists.
The agricultural vocation of Tenuta
Cateani is part of a never-ending story. A story
that has been carefully connected to the present thanks
to the passion of the Pelosi family. Knowledge and
passion, innovation and respect for tradition have blended together, leading over the years to the production of
wines that are able to honour the
fundamental traits of the land. Native
vine varieties, like the Sangiovese, the Alicante and the Vermentino rediscover their complexity
and their freshness in the fusion
with the Merlot, Syrah and Viognier
grapes.
Tenuta Casteani is a sustainable winery,
in conversion to organic production. Is has managed
to combine the rediscovery of its own history with timeless experiments: amongst its distinctive characteristics we find the fermentation and the aging in terracotta jars with a long
maceration on the skins and pips of its own
Syrah as well as the production of wines with no added
sulphites.
Furthermore is also has hotel facilities: a quiet piace to relax
and enjoy the beauty of nature and to taste the
typical flavours of the Tuscan tradition.
