The Estate RIGOLI
In the center of the Cornia Valley alongside the main road to Suvereto we can already discover the first vineyards belonging to our Azienda Rigoli. The territory extends from the borders of the province Livorno and Grosseto to the south of Bolgheri, enclosed in the Ore Mountains of the Alta Maremma. A marvellous landscape with invaluable historical and archeological sites. This scarce scenery is enriched by the vineyards at the foot of the Monte Calvi. A variety of important wines are firmly established in this sector and can be found on the Etruscan Coast Wine and Olive Oil Road. The D.O.C. Cornia Valley is part of the afore mentioned region.
Our Azienda Rigoli fits in seamlessly into this context. Ever since the 60s and 70s wine for personal consumption was produced on the Azienda. During the 80s our family steadily improved production to achieve the high standard of the D.O.C. Cornia Valley wines. In the 90s the vineyard and our portfolio of grapevines was expanded. To the indigenous grapes of Sangiovese and Ansonica we added Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Vermentino.
Today, belonging to the Azienda are approximately seven hectares of vineyards and two hectares of olive groves. The Mediterranean brushwood is spread thickly on the hill tops and south of them, facing the sun, lie the vineyards on the foot of the hills. A micro climate allowing the grapes to ripen perfectly. Enviously we observe our privileged plants flourishing in this ever so fertile soil. As a result, our wines develop an extraordinary taste and character.
Working closely with our oenologist Leonardo Conti from the Matura Group we achieve bottling up to 30.000 wine bottles a year. We also produce Extra virgin olive oil and honey.
