The producer
Valdipiatta
Tenuta Valdipiatta farms 22 hectares of vineyard in the heart of the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano zone, certified organic since 2018 and managed as a closed ecosystem with cover crops and home-made compost. Its traditional wines are Sangiovese-led, with the single-vineyard Vigna d'Alfiero (planted almost half a century ago by the estate's first cellarman, Alfiero Carpini) made from pure Sangiovese. Since the 1990s the estate has worked with Bordeaux consultants, most recently Eric Boissenot.
