The producer
Fattoria Fibbiano in the municipality of Terricciola, in the province of Pisa in the Era valley in Tuscany.
Terricciola, set in the hills between Pisa and Volterra, is part of an area which is very rich in history and traditions.
Fattoria Fibbiano is a family-run farm. The whole family has lived and worked here since 1997. Giuseppe, the father, deals with the general management of the estate and takes care of the vineyards and countryside. Matteo, the eldest of the two sons, is in charge of marketing the wines and his brother, Nicola, is the winemaker who oversees the entire wine-making process. rich in history and traditions.
The Vineyeards
20 hectares of vineyards. Most of them are south-facing. 2.5 hectares have been planted in a north-facing direction with the aim of producing sweeter grapes in dry periods, which in recent years have become more frequent. All the red grape varieties are positioned on top of the hill while the white grape varieties have been planted on the valley floor.
The soil originates from the sea and is rich in fossil shells from the Pliocene epoch, and medium-textured corals.
The farm has always grown autochthonous grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Sangiovese Forte, Sangiovese Polveroso, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Colorino for red wines, and Vermentino and Colombana for white wines.
The Cantoni family regard the environment as an important part of our heritage, to be protected, not as a resource to be exploited. The quality of a product is inextricably linked to the way we care for the land. The land surrounding the farm is only treated using organic fertilisers and human intervention is kept to a minimum. From the point of view of energy consumption, the agritourism is completely self-sufficient with a 30-KW photovoltaic plant, a solar plant for the production of fresh water, and central heating which uses the wood obtained from pruning the river banks and from clearing the woodland.
Fattoria Fibbiano is a certified organic farm

One mountain, Three expressions
One mountain, in three expressions.
Tenuta Scersce’, Three wines. Three interpretations of Nebbiolo Chiavennasca. One extraordinary territory.
Aldo Fiordelli and James Suckling – Wine Ratings have awarded:
95 points to Valtellina Superiore Inferno Flammante 2023 95 points to Valtellina Superiore Riserva Cristina Scarpellini 2022 93 points to Sforzato di Valtellina Infinito 2022
Three wines that reveal different facets of Valtellina: its complexity, elegance, and remarkable vocation for winemaking.
From the steep terraces to the bottle, the mountain remains the same….What changes is the way its story is expressed.
The producer
The beginning:
Since 2008, Cristina Scarpellini has been the driving force behind Tenuta Scerscé, a winery dedicated to expressing the unique character of Valtellina. From the outset, she has approached this extraordinary Alpine wine region with respect, patience, and a strong commitment to its fragile landscape.
After earning a Law degree in Milan and completing research at the University of Paris Sorbonne–Panthéon Assas II, Cristina built a career specializing in business internationalization. It was through this journey that she discovered Valtellina and its Nebbiolo, inspiring her to pursue a new path in winemaking. Today, her work is defined by a deep understanding of the territory and the meticulous care required to cultivate vineyards on Valtellina’s steep terraced slopes. Through dedication and vision, Tenuta Scerscé has become a distinctive expression of one of Italy’s most remarkable mountain wine regions.
The Philosophy
The winery is driven by a strong commitment to creating wines that are a direct expression of their territory, conveying its distinctive character while reflecting the producer’s mindset, personality, and unwavering pursuit of quality.
Over the years, this philosophy has led to an increasingly meticulous approach in the vineyard. Particular attention is given to the analysis of the soil in each vineyard, allowing the team to better understand its characteristics and enhance the potential of each site.
The new cellar has been designed according to sustainable and innovative principles. It provides a modern environment in which the winery can continue to study and experiment with different types of tanks, while allowing for longer periods of bottle ageing and further development of the wines.
At its heart, the philosophy represents a link between past and present: a meeting of inherited manual skills and contemporary tools, always with the utmost respect for tradition. People remain central to this approach, playing an essential role in shaping the winery’s character and identity.
The company logo reflects this connection with the land. It depicts the traditional two-pronged hoe, an agricultural tool rooted in local farming culture and traditionally used to work the soil around the shoots and roots of the vines.
Sanforte: An Indigenous Tuscan Grape Reborn
Twenty‑four years after the tornado of 6th of August 2002, the hills of the Val di Sieve still carry the memory of the day nature reshaped their future. What began as devastation became the unexpected beginning of one of Tuscany’s most remarkable grape rediscoveries. Hidden among damaged terraces near the hamlet of Prunatelli, a single ancient vine survived the storm — a discovery that would lead to the revival of Sanforte, now organically cultivated at Borgo Prunatelli under the care of the Grati family. The story of this native grape returns to the spotlight: a tale of resilience, heritage, and the quiet strength of a vine that refused to disappear.

Cantina Paltrinieri, a century-long story
For a century, the farm has been much more than a business: it’s family, memory, and roots that continue to live on through time.
Founded in 1926 by Achille Paltrinieri just north of Modena, the winery is now in its fourth generation, passionately championing traditional and unconventional expressions of this celebrated Emilia-Romagna terroir.
Key points:
- The 1926 Origins: Achille Paltrinieri built the original house and winery, dedicating his life to the land between the Secchia and Panaro rivers.
- The Sorbara Specialists: The Paltrinieri family owns and farms approximately 15 to 17 hectares of vineyards, particularly in the historic Il Cristo zone.
- The Modern Era: Since 1998, current winemaker Alberto Paltrinieri (Achille’s grandson) and his wife, Barbara Galassi, have helmed the estate. Alberto was a pioneer in producing the first mono-varietal Lambrusco di Sorbara, redefining the wine’s artisanal potential.
