The story
Le Crocine was founded as the personal project of Niccolò Marzichi Lenzi: after working abroad and developing a growing passion for wine, the family began production in the Lamentano area, near Castagneto Carducci. The estate is now recognized as a local operation personally managed by his wife, Joy, who oversees the project and the label's communications.
Production philosophy
The production style favors wines of character, freshness and approachability. The project has been described as inspired by Burgundian models: Le Crocine works with selected grapes from coastal growers and focuses on limited production and food-friendly, distinctive wines.
