It consisted of 93 hectares of land, only two of which were planted with vineyards. Thus, Italo began his small wine production, immediately conquering a large number of admirers.

Today the company owns six estates: Le Macie, Sant'Alfonso, Riserva Fizzano and le Tavolelle in the Chianti region, Campo Maccione and Casamaria in the Morellino di Scansano region. It cinsiste of 500 hectares in total, of which more than 200 are cultivated with vineyards and about 22 are cultivated with olive groves. The main objective of the company is to produce great quality wines, with complete respect for the environment and the ecosystem, trying to make the most of the territory. The wines produced are unique and unmistakable and have a huge success both in Italy and abroad.
