The building complex of the farm was the scene of raids, the residence of the rulers, by the Lombards in Guelph, until in 1427 the castle becomes a fortified mansion.
The 1503 is a key date for the company's history: the first plant of a vineyard Vernaccia vine, by Agnolo Bardi, marks an important milestone for wine production and history of this wine that is produced only in San Gimignano, already known to the Court of Cosimo de Medici as a remedy for stomach fullness and nausea. Over time successive purchases of farms, land reclamation, improvements, agricultural experiments up to our days.
To keep intact the aroma contributes significantly the way in which the distillation takes place, namely the Old and expensive method of eliminating "heads and tails" for almost 50% of the distillate. This grappa is crystal clear.
Excellent intensity and finesse. The taste is delicious, soft and velvety. Excellent to crown a fine lunch or liquor to be offered to friends and guests.
