| Alessandro Tognozzi Moreni | Italy | Toscane |
Close to the vineyards of Montalcino, overlooking the Orcia Valley, in the municipality of Castiglione, are the vineyards of Alessandro Tognozzi Moreni. The domain has belonged to the noble family of Alessandro’s mother for more than 500 years. Count Tommaso Cervini, named “Contemaso” by the farmers, had managed the Montamiata estate with great passion, knowledge and farming competence. A heritage and a challenge that his grandson Alessandro has accepted with renewed commitment and enthusiasm.
Here, great wines are produced in small batches with a traditional patience and dedication. The completely southfacing vineyards are located between the Orcia river, the Ansedonia stream and Monte Amiata, an ancient volcano of just over 1700 meters.
