THE WINE
Terre di Lavinia was born from a family story and the deep connection we share with our land.
Its name is dedicated to Lavinia, Giuliano's daughter, and reflects our desire to pass down a passion for viticulture and respect for the territory to future generations.
The Vermentino grapes come from our vineyards between Bolgheri and Cecina, where proximity to the sea and the characteristics of the soils help shape the wine's fresh, Mediterranean personality.
Vinification in stainless steel, with a portion of the grapes fermented in contact with their skins, enhances the aromatic richness of Vermentino while preserving its elegance and freshness.
Terre di Lavinia is a wine that tells our family's story through the land, bringing together simplicity, character and drinking pleasure.
