Fibbiano
Nestled in the hills between Pisa and Volterra, Fibbiano has been founded with the clear intention to preserve the most classic native Tuscan varieties: Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino, SanForte, Colombana and Vermentino. Brothers Matteo and Nicola Cantoni farm 50 acres of vineyards practicing organic farming. Soils are rich in marine fossils and shells. All wines are made with native yeasts.
