From this winery

• Start up year: 2019
• Oenologist: Daniele Prosperi
• Bottles produced: 60.000
• Hectares: 15

A combination of our positive experience with the Uggiano winery and an ambition to throw our hat into the winemaking ring led to the birth of Tenuta Aquilaia. The estate is located in the heart of Maremma, Tuscany, where, more than 2000 years ago, the ancient Etruscans dedicated their lives to making great quality wine. The dream of interpreting ancient traditions in a modern way is today a concrete reality thanks to Fabio, Daniele and Giacomo.

Tenuta Aquilaia winery is located in the municipality of Scansano in the province of Grosseto, in the heart of the Maremma region. It covers an area of 40 hectares, 15 of which are planted with vines, in the valley of the Fosso Sanguinaio stream, close to the Albegna river.

Native grapes such as Vermentino, Ciliegiolo and Sangiovese blend well with international varieties such as Chardonnay, Petit Verdot, Alicante and Merlot. The vineyards, mainly facing south-west, lie on gentle hills of Pliocene and Quaternary origin, characterised by clay-loam soils rich in minerals and trace elements such as iron and magnesium, which give the typical reddish hue of the Maremma area, full of history and tradition.

Vermentino Maremma Toscana 2020 is the winning wine at the IWC (International Wine Challenge) 2021 and has been awarded the Gold Medal. Read more
