Montecarlo Grapevines

To produce better wines, in the 1870’s, Mr. Giulio Magnani, who was the owner at that time of the Fattoria Marchi Magnani (now Mazzini), went to France to study the vines and wine making tecniques used by our French cousins, who were producing important wines already enjoyed overseas. He visited different areas in France, from  Bordeau he brought home – Sauvignon, Semillon, Merlot,  Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, from Rodano he  brought back  Rousanne and Syrah  and from Borgogne he brought back Pinot  Blanc  e Pinot Gris. At home he studied the right percentages of the grapes to be blended with Trebbiano with the result of producing a more elegant, soft, aroma. Experimenting  with these grape varieties has given us the opportunity to produce our particular and unique wine since more than a century ago, on  the landside of the four towns, Montecarlo, Altopascio, Capannori  and Porcari . We have therefore been able to blend the flavours of the ancient grapes together  with the French ones applying modern techniques.
