It is a placid summer day. The sun’s rays bathe the Tuscan hills overlooking the sea of Castiglion della Pescaia. Immersed in this paradise, Pierangiolo Piccini walks among the vines, letting his steps sink into the warmth of the earth. Suddenly he stops, inflates his lungs with the clear sea air and lets his eyes slide along the rhythmic ups and downs of the rows. In the space of a moment, Pierangiolo’s instincts anticipate agronomic calculations, scanning horizons that only an artist can imagine. Determined to pursue his intuition, Pierangiolo invested in these hills by acquiring Tenuta Moraia, the stroke of genius of a wine master. Years later, his heirs continue to pay homage to their grandfather’s intuition, cultivating a land that today is hailed by all as the new frontier of Tuscan wine.

Caressed by sea breezes, Tenuta Moraia is located in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, a stone’s throw from the ancient village of Gavorrano. The influence of the sea, favored by the nearby Gulf of Follonica, mixes with the gentleness of the hills and the generous sunshine of these lands. The estate covers the impressive extension of 160 hectares, 60 of which are vineyards, strictly organic.

Here, the moving sweetness of the Tuscan hills blends with the foam of the waves, in an eternal game of seduction, under the direction of the placid rays of the sun. Even the subsoil reveals the ancient history of this slice of Tuscany, giving its fascinating marine echoes. On the surface, on the other hand, a mantle of blue-gray and red clays, crossed by spotted limestone and limestone conglomerates, creates the premises for an exceptional soil that enhances Sangiovese, revealing all its tannic potential and celebrating its vigorous structure. The rich mosaic of influences and aromatic echoes is completed by other vineyards on less impervious slopes, with a sandy and pebbly character, which delegate the prestigious task of interpreting the terroir to the typical grapes of the great Bordeaux reds.
