ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Sàgona is located in Pratomagno, in the province of Arezzo. This small mountain farm is in hilly, wild territory, 500 meters above sea level. Far from tourist sites and surrounded by dry stone walls, the farm sits in a narrow valley. It is part of a diverse ecosystem of vineyards, olive trees, fruit orchards, and potato and legume crops. The vineyard is managed by Daniele Corrotti with the help of his family and friends.

The vineyards is made up of very small plots totalling four hectares and is farmed according to organic principles. The wines are made from only native varieties: Sangiovese for the most part, but also Malvasia Nera, Ciliegiolo, Canaiolo, Colorino, Malvasia Bianca and Trebbiano. Sàgona’s wines speak of the mountains, combining unmistakable, elegant Tuscan, flavours, with the rustic, peasant character of the area.
