TENUTA AQUILAIA,
WINES FROM THE HEART OF MAREMMA
Tenuta Aquilaia is located in Scansano, part of the Grosseto province in the beating heart of Maremma. The estate covers an area of forty hectares, including fifteen hectares of vineyard, in the Fosso Sanguinaio stream valley, close to where it meets the Albegna river.
Local grape varieties such as Vermentino, Ciliegiolo and Sangiovese are well matched with the international grapes Chardonnay, Petit Verdot, Alicante and Merlot.
The vineyards face south-west, stretching among rolling hills with Pliocene and quaternary origins, characterized by limestone-clay soils, rich in minerals and microelements such as iron and magnesium, which give the soils their reddish hue, typical of Maremma, a region full of history and tradition.

AUSPICI
ciliegiolo, chardonnay, fosso sanguinaio
The Auspici wines are produced only with the finest selection of grapes, harvested by hand, and aged both in wooden barrels and in bottle. Wines with great potential, expressed in time through their structure; a result of the magnificent combination of climate, terroirs, vine and work, from pruning to harvest, and finally the aging of the wine.
Under the auspices of Mother Nature we receive her best fruits!

Orizzonti
Maremma toscana, vermentino
The Orizzonti wines are produced with the most important native grape varieties of the area: Sangiovese and Vermentino, making beautifully balanced, approachable wines, with flavourful aromas on the nose and surprisingly pleasing flavours on the palate.
From the first sip you can appreciate the careful work that went into the wines, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Boundless horizons with a wide, harmonious breath.

ABOUT US
A combination of our positive experience with the Uggiano winery and an ambition to throw our hat into the winemaking ring led to the birth of Tenuta Aquilaia.
The estate is located in the heart of Maremma, Tuscany, where, more than 2000 years ago, the ancient Etruscans dedicated their lives to making great quality wine.
The dream of interpreting ancient traditions in a modern way is today a concrete reality thanks to Fabio, Daniele and Giacomo.

A panorama of ancient vines and red earth
Looking out over the horizon of our land, with a view that sweeps into infinite lines and colours. The colors of the vineyards and its red earth with a thousand shades make up the Etruscan palette that paints these hills, together with the geological eras, testifying to a precious past. Ancient vines that are still used today in Maremma, respecting a history that is in our DNA. Making wine and, like our ancestors, handing down the tradition. This is our strength, our mission.
