Description

Wine born in honour of Giuseppe Valiani ‘Il Bersagliere’, Simone Castelli's grandfather, the man who founded Podere 414 together with his grandson and Maurizio Castelli. It matures in the cellar for five years, the same length of time the Bersagliere waited before re-embracing his family during the Great War.

“414” is the house number attributed to our property by the former reform land authority in the 1960s, during the division of the estate and the redistribution of the land to the farmers.
These families inherited totally wild and uncontaminated lands and they adopted an almost exclusively subsistence farming model keeping the “spirit” of the land intact until now. In this context between hills and sea we have operated from 1998 producing the wines of “Podere 414” a small icon that embodies the character of Maremma.

This is a ‘gastronomic’ wine suitable for accompanying in the best possible way the cuisine of the Tuscan tradition and in particular that of the Maremma.
