The estate's origins date back to a family-run agricultural enterprise in the coastal Maremma. In recent decades the Frollani family has progressively focused the business on quality viticulture. In the 1990s the estate began a program of innovation in the vineyards and winery, culminating in the construction of a modern winery in the Bolgheri DOC area, now open to the public for visits and tastings.
Production philosophy
A commitment to respecting the land and interpreting the terroir of Bolgheri: viticultural practices and winery choices aim to enhance the expression of local vineyards, reduce environmental impact, and promote hospitality and direct sales.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the hilly amphitheatre of Bolgheri, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, the vineyards lie on soils with a sandy-clayey composition and a notable stony component. The proximity to the sea moderates the climate and gives the wines a Mediterranean character.
