TENUTA DI ARTIMINO

The passion for wine, in Artimino, has ancient roots, already with the Etruscan people. In the seventeenth century the Medici family continued this tradition and the wines of Carmignano, and Artimino in particular, were recognized among the most prized of that time.  In 1716 with the edict of Cosimo III a document was written that delimited the boundaries of production, as a disciplinary, and defined them "wines suitable for sailing", that is to say for export, given their longevity and quality.
Since the 1980s, the Artimino Estate has been owned by the Olmo family: the third generation, now at the helm, has chosen to focus on clean and responsible agriculture, which meets an ancient history and centuries-old traditions.
70 hectares of splendid vineyards all around Villa Medicea La Ferdinanda (Unesco heritage), with noble vines such as Sangiovese and Cabernet, which is said to have been brought to this area by Caterina de'Medici in the 16th century. Wines from a lesser known, more genuine Tuscany, where the times of the countryside are still the times of life.
