Cantina LaSelva is located in the place Poderone in Magliano in the region Toscana.
The building is only partially visible from the outside because most of the structure is underground. The stone exterior and green roofing perfectly blend in with the landscape and therefore make the structure very efficient, very well insulated and also with a constant internal temperature and humidity all year round.
The solar panels on the roof produce part of the energy that is necessary for its operation.
LaSelva’s organic and vegan wines age in 40 stainless steel vats and about 100 barriques and tonneaux.
The total capacity is 3,600 hectolitres. The current production is 220.000 bottles per year.
