First Boutique winery.
Winemaking on this winery estate dates back to 1465 when Lorenzo de’Medici planted the original vines on the historic vineyards of the Podere Fortuna. Surrounded by scenic Tuscan hills, which unfold into a series of unique landscapes, the vineyards produce elegant wines while honoring the valley of Mugello. The region’s climate offers ideal conditions for Pinot Noir, with the contrast between day and night temperatures contributing to optimal ripening. Currently transitioning to organic production, the estate primarily cultivates Pinot Noir, along with a small acreage of Chardonnay. The vineyard follows biodynamic principles, treating the entire winemaking process as a unified entity. They protect the land by eliminating pesticides, instead using natural fertilizers such as recycled grape skins to nourish the soil. This approach not only enhances the quality of the fruit but also the wine itself.
