The estate

Located in Montepulciano, Matinella is in the heart of the famous wine-growing area of Nobile DOCG. The winery was established at the end of 2015, after the fusion of two pre existing local wine estates. Vines are planted between a height of 350 and 550 meters above sea level in a sandy soil that owes its origin to the Pliocene epoch.
Requalification of vine plantings has required a hard work: all vineyards have been fixed and brought into alignment, their support stakes adequately replaced, soil and drainage ditches appropriately improved. Grass family essences suitable for a natural enrichment of the soil have been adequately seeded. Furthermore the entire wine cellar has been renovated by restoring its building and implementing a temperature and humidity monitoring system in the barrel room.

Our philosophy

Inspired by the generosity of nature and by the excellence of its fruits, our primary and only choice is oriented to work respectfully for these places and their traditions, following environmentally beneficial methods and avoiding any use of chemicals. Our vineyards and olive oil grove are grown on a day-to-day basis and each stage occurs just at the optimum time following the natural cycle of the seasons. The amount of buds is also duly set through pruning. Harvesting of grapes occurs by hand and at different intervals of time after examining carefully the stages of the grape berry maturation, allowing the grapes to be picked at the time of their best phenolic maturation.
