On the occasion of the presentation of our new rose wine, Mustiola 2011, you are all invited for a lunch in the countryside at the “Rose of May – Event at the Castle of rosé wines and not only…”, in its second edition. It will be held in the courtyard of the Castle of Palazzo di Piero, in the ancient olive mill and in the other historic areas of the farm, including the castle’s park.
We will eat together roasts, sandwiches and bruschettas and you will taste Mustiola, our Rosé of Sangiovese 2011, our 2009 wines and a preview of our 2010 red wines, also.
As in all our events we will host other producers from our area, that will bring their products at our party. It will be an opportunity to learn more and enjoy the fruits of our land in the magical atmosphere of the neo-Gothic castle nestled in the woods of Palazzo di Piero, a few kilometers from Chianciano. In addition, if the weather will allow, those who wish can walk in our vineyards and our olive groves.
Lunch is free and open to all by booking. You can also buy tasted products.
NOTE: For organizational purposes, reservations are required through the following addresses. The information required are name, phone number, email and number of people for whom you book.

 How was the Feast for the Olive Oil?
Com’è andata con la festa del Primo olio
This is the question that many have made me, as usual, after the feast of olive oil at the Palazzo di Piero.
What can I say? It went very well!
Thanks to everyone who came and those who helped to organize it! Thanks especially to all those who have purchased our products and continue to express their liking.
Sales went well, so much so that we finally finished Purneia 2006 and that our little new oil reserves have been successfully put to the test.
Start hour period of bottling to replenish our supply of wine for sale. Who wants to buy more oil is good to hasten: it will not last.
Thank you!

 La vendemmia di quest’anno ci ha dato dei risultati di una qualità inaspettata. Una estate molto secca e calda ha fatto maturare i frutti con largo anticipo, spingendoci a raccogliere l’uva con circa 25 giorni in anticipo. Ignorando una diffusa tendenza a non tener conto di questo brusco scostamento dal calendario tradizionale, ci siamo probabilmente messi al riparo dall’eccessiva maturazione che sembra aver colpito molti altri produttori. Continuando sulla strada segnata dalle annate che si sono succedute dal 2006, abbiamo portato avanti le nostre scelte nella cura del vigneto e nelle pratiche di cantina, cercando di dare solo un aiuto a quei processi naturali virtuosi, innescati da una pratica rispettosa della natura delle piante e del terreno. La prima vinificazione, come ogni anno largamente anticipata rispetto a quella dei rossi, è stata quella del rosé Mustiola. I risultati sembrano molto promettenti. Ma ciò che ci dà grandi speranze è il sangiovese, di prossima svinatura: tannicità, acidità, corpo e struttura e, soprattutto, dotato di una forte identità. Un vino così lo possiamo solo sciupare… Staremo a vedere. Insomma, i risultati della nostra vendemmia ci sembrano veramente interessanti. Aspettiamoli alla prova della bottiglia!
The harvest this year has given us the results of an unexpected quality. A very dry and hot summer has matured fruit well in advance, pushing us to pick the grapes with about 25 days in advance. Ignoring a widespread tendency to ignore this abrupt departure from the traditional calendar, we probably sheltered from excessive ripeness that seems to have affected many other manufacturers.
Continuing on the path marked by the years that have followed the 2006, we continued our choices in the care of the vineyard and cellar practices, trying to give a helping hand to those natural processes, triggered by a practice that respects the nature of plants and soil.
The first wine making, as each year highly anticipated than that of red, was for our rosé Mustiola. The results look very promising.
But what gives us great hope is the Sangiovese: tannins, acidity, body and structure and, especially, a strong identity. A wine we can only mar… We’ll see.
In short, the results of our harvest seem really interesting. We look forward to the test them in the bottle!

 Ho lasciato trascorrere un bel po’ di tempo, dalla fine della fiera londinese “La dolce vita”, ed. 2011 e adesso, prima di passare a tutt’altro, mi preme lasciare qualche commento sulla nostra esperienza.
Senza stare a fare tanti giri di parole, dico subito che mi sentirei senz’altro di sconsigliare aziende agri-turistiche dal partecipare alle prossime edizioni, a meno che qualcosa non cambi (radicalmente) nell’organizzazione della fiera.
Per quanto riguarda la promozione delle attività turistiche abbiamo potuto notare una totale assenza di buyers, sia in fiera sia tra i visitatori. I due (DUE!!!) presenti non mi pare possano giustificare la spesa di un tavolo in una fiera del genere.
Per quanto riguarda il pubblico, sia per un errore negli orari di apertura, sia forse per com’è stata impostata la promozione, ci siamo trovati a lavorare su una tipologia di utenti che, in linea generale, non riteniamo pianificheranno a breve vacanze in Toscana… per dirla con un eufemismo.
Dal punto di vista dei prodotti (abbiamo portato vini e olio e.v.o.), il buon successo di vendite del vino non ha potuto raddrizzare le sorti dell’impresa generale: benché il gradimento di Mustiola e Purneia fosse alto, abbiamo dovuto riscontrare un forte disinteresse (quando non pura incomprensione) per l’olio d’oliva (non per il nostro: nessuno ha venduto olio, dei nostri vicini umbri, siciliani, ecc.). Ancora, in generale il pubblico non sembrava granché avvertito, sull’uso e sulle molte virtù dell’oro verde.
Insomma: non è mia intenzione dilungarmi troppo su questa vicenda. L’esperienza umana è stata interessante: abbiamo conosciuto persone simpatiche e abbiamo potuto vivere di nuovo le atmosfere (spenderecce) di Londra. Per gli affari invece tutto è stata, men che dolce…
Quel che infine non può passar sotto silenzio è il gigantesco contributo di Daniela, che m’ha aiutato nel faticoso compito di servire ca 200 assaggi di vino ogni giorno e mi sostituiva quando la gola mi si seccava dal tanto chiacchierare. Thank you!
