TENUTA GRAMINETA has existed since the late 1800s.
In 2008 we built a new winery, not only to make wine, but also to make other products.
We have deliberately opted for a healthy and fair agriculture, avoiding large-scale production and the use of substances to the detriment of quality and our health.
The base of our red and rosé wines is the Sangiovese grape, it is used alone or in combination with other grapes to give life to a blend that can be combined with traditional Maremma dishes with more modern dishes, but with strong flavors.

GRAPES: Sangiovese …
…It is an Italian, blue grape variety originating from Tuscany. Due to regional changes, there are some variations in Italy.
This blend was mentioned for the first time around 1600 in a treatise by Giovanni Vittorio Soderini on viticulture in Tuscany with the synonym Sangiogheto. The name probably derives from Sanguis Jovis or blood of Jupiter.

Merlot is an international grape variety and can be recognized mainly in the sense of smell and taste of red fruits such as cherries, berries and plums.
The wines of this grape are generally juicy and soft with long tannins taste.
As a result, they are often easier and younger to drink.
The name Merlot is said to be named after the blackbird in French.

CULTIVATION FORM: Cordone Speronato

The forms of cultivation of the vine are diagrams of the methods of pruning and geometry of the rows.
The winegrower adopts this method to reduce vegetative growth and influence the quality and yield of the grapes.
After that, various crop forms have been selected and improved throughout the history of viticulture in order to obtain greater quantities and better quality of the grapes.
In conclusion this selection took place on the basis of a sort of purpose, such as wine or fruit grapes.
