Winery Azienda Agricola Bio Tarazona Miriam

The project originated from research begun around 2000 with the aim of reconstructing Etruscan winemaking. After years of experimentation with archaeologists, geologists and agronomists, the estate began using buried terracotta jars as vessels for winemaking; the first series of "official" jars was buried in 2014. In 2015 the estate’s internal production system, known as the "Metodo Mondini," was codified. The project is described directly by the producer on its website and in industry fact sheets.

Organic and natural farming practices: production without GMOs or chemical additives, hand harvesting, use of permaculture techniques, and experimentation with traditional amphora winemaking to produce natural wines that express the character of the territory.

The vineyards and estate are situated on the slopes of the Foreste Casentinesi, in Antria. The soil is described as calcareous with a thin layer of topsoil; the microclimate and historic vineyards contribute to the character of the wines.

1st prize "La Fabbrica nel Paesaggio" for the restoration of an ancient winemaking system and respect for the environment, as reported in the company's public information.
