Ampeleia is a biodynamic winery run by a group of young professionals who work to enhance this land through their wines. Located in the UNESCO Geopark of the Metalliferous Hills, the vineyards are deliberately placed on different areas, soils and microclimates so as to represent all the diversity of this place.
In almost twenty years of activity, we have converted our production first into organic and then into biodynamic and we created a small community of passionate, experienced people who keeps Ampeleia in a constant evolution and change. The character of Ampeleia has its roots in Cabernet Franc, the grape variety that best expresses the identity of the terroirs, while at the same time telling its story.
Ampeleia’s vineyards and farming system are unique in many ways. The 35 hectares of vineyards are surrounded by 85 hectares of woods and fields, a fundamental setting for preserving the local ecosystem and also to allow the vineyards to live and grow in an untouched, biodiverse community.
2023 Unlitro
IGT Toscana Rosso
Alicante Nero, Sangiovese, Carignano, Mourvèdre, Alicante Bouschet
Red wine

To bring on the table a one-litre flask is and ancient tradition, and a symbol of conviviality.
Hence the name Unlitro, and a bottle whose shape and size recall the joy and carefreeness of being together.
A wine that comes from our youngest vineyard, the closest to the sea; from a blend of Alicante Nero, Carignano, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese and Alicante Bouschet. A wine that testifies to our desire to express the territory in a more gentle and immediate way, without losing the character of a classic Tuscan wine.

2023 Bianco di Ampeleia

Biodinamic
Through the Bianco di Ampeleia we are able to communicate the identity of our territory in a different way.
We have rediscovered the co-planted vineyard tradition, where different varieties coexist side by side and then become a single wine. This is what our Bianco di Ampleia talks about: how harmony can arise from diversity.
2022 Alicante Nero
IGT Toscana Alicante
Alicante Nero
Red wine
Demeter certified
Biodinamic
Doing biodynamic viticulture means rediscover old traditions, abandoned to make room for an uprooted agriculture. Alicante Nero represents our way of being winemakers: an indigenous grape of Alta Maremma, which had been replaced with other varieties, richer in colors and with more imposing bodies.
We brought it back home, to its land, in 2003, strongly believing that this could be the truest and most authentic grape to express the Mediterranean Maremma.
We were right: today it is one of our most precious gems. Our vineyards in La Pieve are the ideal habitat: the clay soils, mixed with pebbles and puddings, give delicacy, lightness and a harmonious character.
2023 Cabernet Franc
IGT Toscana Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc
Red wine
Demeter certified
Biodinamic
We have reserved it few plots in the Donkey vineyard: the one with the youngest plants and the soil with most clay, marked by the typical galestro limestone rocks.
Unique conditions meets here, in Roccatederighi, and allow our Cabernet Franc to be a pure expression of the fruit.
Identifying, sincere and vibrant.
2021 Ampeleia
IGT Toscana Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc
Red wine
Demeter certified
Biodinamic
We grew with it, and thanks to it.
It is the beginning, the pride and the highest expression of our company.
Which is why we gave it our name.
Its essence comes from Cabernet Franc, a prickly and difficult vine to work with, which can only express its best qualities on certain soils.
To it, we dedicated our oldest vineyard and the soils with the most limestone and palombino.
And it, in return, confirmed to us what we already knew: that Roccatederighi and Cabernet Franc live in perfect harmony, and together express all their extraordinary potential.
