Certified Organic Wines:

                                                                                                                           
Foho, by winemaker Stefano Chioccioli, has ruby red color with garnet highlights. The aroma is very intense and complex; you can smell immediately spiced wood notes (nutmeg and cacao) and then the typical Chianti fragrance of violet. The wine is smooth, elegant and warm with a long aftertaste.





Aria, by winemaker Stefano Chioccioli, has a red ruby color with soft garnet red nuances. On the nose an intense and complex bouquet with a good balance between fragrances of ripe red pulp fruits (plums and blackberry) and spiced wooden notes. We can define this wine harmonious, dry, warm, and pleasantly tannins.


Wines Made with Organic Grapes:



This ruby colored wine, made by winemaker Federico Riolfo, has bold inviting aromas of sour cherry, spices and dried herbs that explode from the glass and offer a preview of what is to follow on the palate. This smooth, medium-bodied wine is packed with ripe fruit flavor and nicely balanced by good acidity and soft tannins.





If you like Syrah or Shiraz, you'll love Nero D'Avola, a native Sicilian grape. This Nero D'Avola is concentrated and delectable with smoky black plum flavors. The finish is full bodied and has a hint of baker’s chocolate and dusty tannins.
