Tenuta di Tavignano was acquired in 1973 by Stefano Aymerich di Laconi, of Sardinian and Spanish origins, and by his wife Beatrice Lucangeli, descendant of a family from Marche with an ancient tradition in the production of wine. Tavignano is an estate of 230 hectares in a single body that dominates the countryside of Cingoli, which has always been known as the “Balcony of Marche”. The estate is located within the prestigious territory of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, Tavignano being one of the Castles of the denomination.
The estate was renovated with a careful conservative restoration, respecting the authenticity of the place and, in the early years, the company concentrated on the cultivation of cereals, vegetables and forage.
In the 90s the couple took the decision to enhance the present wine heritage and become producers of native varieties, in contrast with the trend of the time that favored international ones. However, Stefano and Beatrice were certain of the great potential of the main grape of these lands: Verdicchio.
Giancarlo Soverchia, a professional of the wine sector, decided to explant the existing vineyards at the time and to adopt the spurred cordon with Verdicchio in order to obtain its maximum expression. Under his wise guidance, the choices were consistent with the personality of the owners, aimed at enhancement of quality and territoriality.
Since 2004 the two founders took the choice, with great satisfaction, to follow the consultancy and advice of the oenologist and wine maker Pierluigi Lorenzetti. In 2006 the first important recognition arrived: the three glasses of Gambero Rosso for Misco Riserva.
From 2014 Ondine de la Feld has entered the company to support her uncle Stefano Aymerich in managing its business, adding a modern, dynamic and entrepreneurial style with the help of a young and motivated team, committed to face the challenges of the future; a breath of new energy in the name of continuity
In the same year, the conversion of all the vineyards to organic farming began: today, fertilization is organic and green manure is practiced.
In 2015, thanks to Ondine and with the help of Tavignano’s Team, the “natural” line “I love Monsters” took shape.
In 2017, Misco 2015 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore, the most representative wine of Tavignano, was nominated by Gambero Rosso 2017 Guide as the Best White Wine in Italy. Still nowadays Tavignano continues to bet a lot on Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, and this award is a pride for the company but also for the whole DOC of Castelli di Jesi.
Since 2018 the company has been certified organic both at the level of the vineyards, olive groves and arable land as well as at the cellar level, thus allowing an organic certification on the label.
In 2021 Ondine de la Feld becomes CEO of Tavignano, and at the same time the green turning point begins. The company is conducting an eco-sustainable study program to guide the company towards a sustainable future with the aim of minimizing energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
