TENUTA
CASA MARIA
In 2003, a new property strengthened the Zingarelli family’s holdings in Maremma with the purchase of Tenuta Casa Maria: 64 hectares of land of which about 25 are now under vine. It was in this very estate that the first hectares of Vermentino grapes were planted, a fascinating grape variety capable of ‘feeling the sea’, which finds its greatest capacity for expression in coastal areas.
