The name of our most successful wine Ad Astra is gleaned from the Latin phrase Per Aspera Ad Astra — “a rough road leads to the stars”. A phrase that is also true for great wines, as greatness requires a great deal of loving work and care in the vineyards. Ad Astra grows in our property in Maremma called Mongibello delle Mandorlaie between Scansano and Magliano in Toscana, 8 km away from the sea at an altitude of 250m. The vineyards lie in the Morellino di Scansano DOCG area. All vineyards are certified organic.
