“Di Macchia” Vermentino Toscana IGT 2022
Wonderful, energetic Vermentino with a small part of Petit Manseng, which gives it freshness and "crunch". Surprises on the nose with grapefruit, rosemary and a hint of mirabelle plum and thyme. On the palate, honeydew melon, peach, Mediterranean spices and in the convincing final, hints of citrus fruits and white pepper. SUPERIORE.DE

“Montalzato” Rosso Toscana IGT 2020
Juicy and for the grape variety relatively low-acid red from almost exclusively Sangiovese. Dark berries on the nose, mainly cherry and cassis, some oyster shell. The taste is full and well structured. This inexpensive and very precise red ends softly and with nicely integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE
"This is an easy-drinking blend of predominantly Sangiovese with smaller portions of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The Montalzato the entry level shows a medium texture with aromas of dark fruits, like blackberries, and a hint of baking chocolate. The warm vintage comes through on the finish with hints of cherry liqueur." Wine Advocate
"Black berries, black cherries and black olives on the nose and palate. Some undertones of herbs and earth. Full body, medium round tannins and a delicious finish. This wine will age well now, but it will improve." James Suckling

“Frank” Rosso Toscana IGT 2018
Deep ruby red with a beautiful sheen. On the nose some plum, black cherry with slightly animal notes. Fleshy and taut on the palate, very powerful and harmonious. Not an off-the-peg wine, but a stormy, tomboyish and gripping Cabernet with good length and a powerful finish. Not for elegance drinkers, but rather a crisp, opulent food companion that leaves nothing to be desired, especially with game dishes. Be sure to aerate it sufficiently! SUPERIORE.DE
"The Frank & Serafìco 2018 Maremma Toscana Sangiovese offers uplifting intensity and good fruit clarity with dried cherry, plum and earth, and it has a medium body. It has a light balsamic note of cherry cola to finish." Wine Advocate

Sangiovese Maremma Toscana DOC 2019
Fresh nose with citrus notes and dark red berries. On the palate, complexity meets fresh acidity, tobacco and spicy notes. Very individual interpretation of Sangiovese, the harmony is impressive and its middle weight and ever-present freshness makes for a nice drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE
"An attractive softness and freshness with cherry, berry and gently toasted citrus notes. Medium to full-bodied, with creamy tannins and a fresh finish, drinking well today but certainly better from 2025." James Suckling

"Very clean and clear aromas of blackcurrant and violet with sandalwood. Medium to full body with firm tannins and a fresh finish. A well made red wine." James Suckling
"This is Cabernet Franc with smaller parts of Merlot and Sangiovese in the blend. The Frank & Serafìco 2020 Frank is velvety and generous with inky black fruits, baked plum, earth and lightly toasted spice. Its easy, full-bodied style sets up this wine for a classic steak and potatoes pairing." Wine Advocate

“Gin di Serafico” Maremma Dry
The special thing about London Dry Gin is not only the typical, natural juniper note, but also the strict production specifications. The botanicals (fruits, herbs and spices), which are usually (and also here) top secret, must be added before distillation and artificial flavours have no place in this product. The additional ethanol added must be exclusively of agricultural origin, so that it can rightly be claimed that a London Dry Gin is produced according to a strict purity law.
The Italians - and also the people behind Frank & Serafico - firmly believe in the old adage that Italian food and drink celebrate the genius of nature, not the person who prepared it. They represent an unbridled desire and passion to gently capture the scent of the herbs of Tuscany's Maremma in their gin, alongside the classic juniper, and reflect it as authentically as possible. This is done using a traditional distillation process at low temperature (max. 70°C) to protect the aromas as much as possible.
The result is a London Dry Gin that, in addition to all its typicity and class, also carries an exciting Maremma component that makes it an extraordinary experience to drink. SUPERIORE.DE

The most southeastern part of the Maremma near Capalbio was already called in Roman times "Vallis Aurea" (golden valley), because here particularly good soil and climatic conditions let grow also particularly good wines and fruits. A small reminiscence of this time is the golden dot on the labels.
A little further to the northwest, directly on the Tyrrhenian Sea, is the Maremma National Park, where not only some of the vines stand, but also malt and hops, from which Pier Paolo Pratesi brews one of the best craft beers in Italy. Of course, there are strict rules in the national park and every step is strictly controlled. Even if the wines are not yet certified, the vines grow in almost untouched nature - without any chemicals.
Sebastiano Pompa, the long-time General Manager of the famous Fattoria le Pupille, was already considering producing wines in this coastal golden zone with Pier Paolo Pratesi at that time, because both were attracted by the special conditions. Compact clay layers from a depth of one and a half metres under light, loamy-sandy soils, extreme temperature fluctuations and the constant sea breeze are unique here and most comparable to Bolgheri. Old clones and a dense vineyard of 5-6,000 vines per hectare ensure natural yield limitation, elegant tannins and a moderate alcohol content.
For the white wine, the two oenologists used Vermentino, which has always produced excellent results in the Maremma, and a tiny proportion of Petit Manseng to obtain fresh acidity without changing the taste of the Vermentino. The red wine is dominated by Sangiovese, which is refined, if necessary, with 5% Cabernet Franc or Merlot. The vines have an average age of 18 years. It is matured in tonneaux and barriques with delicate toasting from Burgundy. The result is elegant wines with fine fruit and silky, elegant tannins, which represent this special terroir very independently. SUPERIORE.DE
