Maria Rossela Bencini took charge of the estate and has managed it according to biodynamic principles since this year.

The estate lies in the hills of Carmignano, in the province of Prato. Its soils are composed of limestone and clay, well suited to both grapevines and olive trees. The area was historically hilly and densely wooded, once serving as hunting grounds for the Medici family.

The estate has been managed according to biodynamic principles since 2001, under Maria Rossela Bencini, who holds that winemakers should respect what nature provides and try not to interfere with its natural course.
