An escape to Tuscany. Who would you share it with?

From family reunions to milestone celebrations or just cherished time with friends, every stay becomes its own story and special one for us—a blend of connection and tranquility in the timeless beauty of the Chianti hills.

The seasons may change, but the magic here stays the same. 💛

RITORNO,
Our IGT Toscano Rosso. Our very first red wine, Ritorno 2021, is now sold out – and we couldn’t be more grateful for the love it received.

But the journey continues… Introducing Ritorno 2022 – the same soul, a different vintage. Evolved, matured, and perfectly balanced: intense yet young, fresh, and vibrant. Crafted just as we envisioned, aged solely in concrete tanks and bottle – no wood – letting this magical wine speak for itself.

Only 1,600 bottles will be released, a true testament to our vineyards as they age and our wine knowledge as it grows. For everyone who loved our Ritorno 2021, this vintage is its refined, evolved self.

Here’s to your Ritorno – to reminisce with this wine, or to your Ritorno al Ferrale toast with us. Cheers wherever you are.

And just like that, another harvest comes to a close… yet, it is only the beginning.

This year presented its own set of challenges, particularly with the rain keeping us on our toes throughout September. Despite these unexpected turns, every hour spent in the vineyard, every late night in the cellar, and every helping hand made all the difference.

As we reflect on these moments, we are filled with pride and gratitude. The dedication and guidance of our team, along with the support from friends who pitched in, truly brought this harvest to life. It serves as a reminder that great wine requires not only skill but also dedication and consistency.

Here’s to teamwork, passion, and toasting the fruits of hard work!

One of our favorite views at Podere Ferrale will become even more special—this beautiful corner will be transformed into 1 acre (a bit less than 0.5 hectares) of vineyards.

As part of our ongoing efforts to restore the estate, and with ideal sun exposure, we’ve decided (perhaps out of passion—or pure madness) to expand our winery.

While we’re still planning the work and exploring potential varietals, one thing is certain—it will be one something that reflects both the character of this land and our own style....maybe Malvasia nera?

Expanding our vineyards will give us the opportunity to be more creative and explore new flavors.

We’re so excited to see this project take root and bringing these vines to life! 🌱

Here we are, the brains, heart, and soul of Podere Ferrale, sitting on the steps of our home, enjoying a well-deserved drink after a long but rewarding day of promoting our wine and preparing the villa for new guests.

No filters—just our tired faces and happy hearts. The work is demanding, but the fulfillment it brings is beyond rewarding.

We're thrilled to have met new friends and connections in the wine business and to welcome two families from Canada.

In the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, we often overlook the small, precious moments that truly matter. At Podere Ferrale, we're reminded of the beauty that lies in simplicity and the importance of taking a moment to unwind.

Imagine standing on the rolling hills of Tuscany, the sky painted in hues of orange, pink, and purple as the sun gently sets over the horizon. The tranquility of this moment is the perfect antidote to our hectic schedules.

At Podere Ferrale, every sunset is a reminder to slow down and cherish the beauty around us.

Embrace life's simple pleasures.

While we're certainly blessed with breathtaking views of rolling hills, we can't resist rolling up our sleeves and diving into a little restoration work, can we? 😄 So, here we are, getting our hands dirty in the vineyards and on yet another restoration project. This time, we're giving some TLC to the east wing, just below our house. Centuries ago stables, and later on storage, are being brought back to life preserving the authentic charm of a typical Tuscan countryside home– from its mighty stone walls to its rustic terracotta ceilings and wooden beams.

When all is said and done, the main building, shaped like a horseshoe, will shine with over 700sqm of pure Tuscan soul. It's been quite the adventure since 2017, and guess what? We're still not quite finished!

In 2018 our winemaking journey began replanting 2.5 hectares of vineyards. Since then, we've immersed into the intricacies of vineyard care.

In 2021, we happily harvested our first vintage and created our first three labels. Last year, we proudly welcomed 2023 vintage into our newly restored cellar, complete with state-of-the-art equipment.

It's been a challenging journey with significant time and energy required (let alone the investment), but the rewards are truly fulfilling.

There's a special joy in sharing a glass of our wine with someone here in Tuscany, but even more rewarding when it's shared at your table, no matter where in the world you find yourself.

Here's to the exciting journey that lies ahead! Cheers! 🍷✨

Despite the tranquil view at Podere Ferrale, we were far from dormant this winter. We’ve been busy adding finishing touches in the cellar space, bottling wines, carrying out restoration projects, pruning the vines, and getting ready for a new season and vintage 2024. Full of new projects and good intentions...always moving forward 😎.
