The story
The estate's origins date back to the late 16th century; the historic buildings and wine cellars were built at the end of the 1500s. The property is recognizable by the wall that surrounds it and by several historical episodes linked to the island, such as visits by Napoleon. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries the estate underwent multiple changes of management; online sources report transfers of ownership and renovations that restored the historic buildings and launched the modern agritourism activity.
Production philosophy
Production based on enhancing the local terroir and traditions, with careful vineyard management and respect for nature; it combines traditional viticultural practices with agritourism hospitality.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in Magazzini, on the Gulf of Portoferraio. The vineyards face the sea on clay‑iron soils, characterized by maritime influence and the island’s typical minerality.
