Winemaking
Grechetto grapes grow on clayey soil at an altitude of 215 to 230 m. They are harvested by hand and pressed at a temperature of around 10°C, after which fermentation takes place at low temperatures with selected yeasts.
Our tasting note
The Costa Ovest shines bright golden yellow and gives off a floral bouquet combined with ripe yellow fruits. The palate is once again dominated by floral notes with hints of tropical fruit. Complex, structured and well-balanced.
Podere 414
The Maremma region is situated on the coast in the southwest of Tuscany. The wines of this region have been highly regarded for a very long time. Simone Castelli is one of the leading winemakers of the Maremma region. Together with his wife Mara, he runs a very successful vineyard which previously belonged to his famous father, Maurizio, who turned his dream into a reality by establishing his own estate on around 30 hectares of arable land. Nowadays, this land is cultivated according to biodynamic principles. It is possible to spot the glowing red building of Podere 414 from a great distance.This is where Simone Castelli cultivates a small, old vineyard covering a total of 11 hectares representing local varieties such as Alicante, Ciliegiolo, Colorino and Syrah in addition to Sangiovese. These grape varieties are used to produce his most important wine, Morellino di Scansano DOCG, which, just like the vineyard itself, bears the cadastral number 414 which was granted to the vineyard during the land reform of the 1960s.
