For our project, whose aim is to enhance the Tuscan “terroir”, obviously we have chosen 100% Tuscan professionals.
Both of them with long experience in Tuscan firms, especially of the Chianti region, therefore aware of the potential, the secrets and the vocation of the lands of Poggio di Guardia.
The strength and qualitative advantage of our region is a centuries-old history of wine production, which prevents us from making mistakes already made in the past. Hence, we concentrate mainly on technical details and innovation.
We like to say that we produce wines with a robust Tuscan character, with respect towards what the “terroir” offers, with a modern-day touch. All this turns wine from a simple drink to pair with a meal into a unique nectar from our hills.
In Tuscany there are not so many wine-growing regions where it is possible to be a pioneer.
This is what Federico and Stefano perceived in this special place.
Friendship together with new agronomic and oenological challenges did the rest.
Stefano Di Blasi & Federico Cerelli
Federico Cerelli
Born in Figline Valdarno , 17-year-experience in prestigious Italian wineries with the responsibility and the supervision of important winemaking
projects, especially in Tuscany and in the Chianti Classico wine region (Antinori, Castello di Meleto, Castello di Gabbiano, …).
Federico's intense knowledge and passion, his continuous research for quality and innovation have been a great asset for the winery. He trusts in the most traditional practices, that over time have become the best, and in the modern technology, which - he thinks - allows us to replicate the oldest actions with maximum control and aim.
Stefano Di Blasi
Born in Florence, his early career included more than 10 years with Antinori. Since 2008, he has been working independently, offering his expertise through numerous consultancies in Tuscany and beyond.
With a background as both an agronomist and oenologist, he is a strong advocate for meticulous attention to detail at every stage, from vineyard planting to the finished bottle, as the key to achieving the highest quality.
