  • Oenologist: Lorenzo Regoli
  • Bottles produced: 220.000
  • Hectares: 45
Today, as in the 11th century, the village is intimately involved in the production of wine and olive oil. The fermentation room and wine cellars, the vinsantaia and bottling, and the mill orciaia modern- although very modern, are still housed in the basements, in the halls, desecrated churches and in buildings of the village, joined together by an amazing "vinodotto" underground 'wine pipeline'. Volpaia, is thus not a mere "theatre for tourists", but the center of a complex rural activity which are directly or indirectly linked to all the inhabitants of the village. Read more

Wine making The wine factory has been meticulously designed to control all stages of vinification and enhance the grapes' qualitative characteristics. The control of the fermentation temperature and the use of a punch-down system resulted in a perfect extraction of the substances that give the wine colour, softness and elegance. Fermentation took place using indigenous yeasts. The crushed grapes fermented at a controlled temperature between 27°C and 30°C. In the first phase of fermentation, which lasted 14 days, two cycles of punching-down per day were carried out to have a greater extraction of 'noble' substances from the grapes, the subsequent maceration on the skins lasted 10 days.
Aging After malolactic fermentation, the wine aged 24 months in Slavonian oak casks of between 15 and 35 hl and in French oak barriques.
