Producer Profile

Tanganelli

Nestled on the outskirts of Castiglion Fiorentino in eastern Tuscany lies Marco Tanganelli's tiny farm. Known as a top agriculturalist, Marco's family has a long history in the region, with his father Carlo establishing an agricultural nursery over 40 years ago to preserve local grape, olive, and orchard varieties. While the Tanganelli family always made wine for themselves and locals, they only began bottling and selling their wine in the late 90s. Today, Marco tends to around 5 hectares of very old trebbiano, malvasia, and sangiovese vines, with new plantings made in recent years on high altitude terraces above the village. Marco's wines reflect the old-school Tuscan peasant style, crafted with care and skill. Natural fermentations, extended aging.

Where The Wines Come From

Tuscany

Tuscany, located in central Italy, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, historic towns, and world-class wines. In recent years, the region has also become a focal point for natural winemaking. With its diverse terroir, including hillsides, valleys, and coastal areas, Tuscany provides an ideal environment for sustainable viticulture. Natural winemakers in Tuscany prioritize organic and biodynamic farming methods, cultivating native grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Trebbiano, and Vernaccia with minimal intervention. By eschewing chemical additives and focusing on natural fermentation, they produce wines that showcase the region's rich history and unique terroir. Tuscany's natural wines are known for their elegance, balance, and complexity, with reds offering ripe fruit flavors, firm tannins, and a sense of place that reflects the region's sun-drenched vineyards and rolling hills. As the demand for authentic and terroir-driven wines continues to grow, Tuscany remains a leader in the natural wine movement, offering a taste of Italy's rich cultural heritage and winemaking traditions with each bottle.
