Fattoria di Magliano Sinarra Rosso Maremma 750ml

In 1997, Agostino Lenci turned his passion into a business investing in a 97-hectare property in the small town of Magliano in the DOC appellation of Maremma Toscana. Although the region has long since produced wine, it was not internationally recognized for quality until recently. Lenci’s vision to bring glory to this little-known area was realized. In recent years, the Maremma Toscana emerged as a preeminent wine producing region. It was subsequently granted DOC status by the Italian government. Fattoria di Magliano was at the forefront of this endeavor, receiving rave reviews from top critics and consumers alike. Planting began in 1998 with Sangiovese and Vermentino, the region’s signature varietals. At present, 52 hectares are under vine with smaller parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot, and Petit Verdot interspersed throughout. Located a mere 10 miles from the Tyrrhenian coast at 300 meters above sea level, the vines enjoy a Mediterranean climate. Premier exposures are balanced by cool sea breezes. The vines have developed deep root systems in soil of medium consistency composed of sand and clay, with a high content of lime and skeletal elements providing excellent drainage.
