Sequerciani Organic Grappa Aged Reserve

Gavorrano (Gr), Tuscany

Sequerciani is a Demeter-certified biodynamic company whose philosophy is absolutely that of minimal interventionism in the vineyard as well as in the cellar.

Nothing is added and nothing is taken away, allowing nature to take its course. At Sequerciani the grapes simply grow, become must and mature into wine. Without additives or filtering.

Sequerciani's terroir is perfect for the full ripening of the estate's grapes, the soil is clayey-calcareous and the vines are at an altitude of 250 metres. Sunny days alternate with cool, breezy nights.

There are 12 hectares under vine, all organically and biodynamically managed, swept by sea breezes that enrich the grapes with sugars and acids. For the most part, the native grape varieties of the area are used, such as Pugnitello, Ciliegiolo and Foglia Tonda, obviously together with the ever-present Sangiovese and Vermentino.

Harvesting is always manual, and fermentation is spontaneous using indigenous yeasts. Terracotta amphorae and non-first-passage wooden barrels are used for ageing.

The intervention of the oenologists is limited, as it should always be, to observation and respect for the times of nature; the result is pure, rare wines that speak of the land and the people who care for it.
