Cantina LaSelva is an organic winery located in the heart of Maremma, in the southern part of Tuscany,
The winery is part of a larger organic farm, Azienda Agricola LaSelva, which has been a pioneer in organic farming in Europe since its founding in 1980. The winemaking philosophy is centered on the principle of “nothing taken away, nothing added,” with a focus on producing authentic, high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region

Founded by Karl Egger, a German entrepreneur, LaSelva began as a 7-hectare organic farm in 1980. Egger was one of the co-founders of the Naturland organic farming association, and in 1984, LaSelva became the first company outside of Germany to be Naturland-certified. While the farm initially focused on fruits and vegetables, the winery was a natural extension of this organic vision. The winery building, constructed in 2003, is largely underground, designed to blend into the landscape and maintain a constant temperature and humidity for optimal wine aging.

The winery’s mission is to be a bridge between nature and culture. The team, including winemaker Giulio Serafinelli and oenologist Leonardo Conti, works with meticulous care, respecting the natural balance of the land. They aim to capture the flavors and aromas of the Maremma region in every bottle.

Cantina LaSelva’s vineyards span over 30 hectares, divided into several plots in the Maremma area. The soil is predominantly clay, rich in minerals, limestone, and marl. The coastal influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea provides a unique microclimate with salty breezes, contributing to the character of the wines. The vineyards are located at various altitudes, from plains at sea level to hillsides up to 120 meters.
