our
HISTORY
Our family’s roots run deep in the Carmignano region, an area with a long-standing winegrowing tradition. It all began in 1875, when Pietro Pratesi moved to Lolocco, giving rise to a long farming tradition. In 1983 our first bottle was produced, and in 2014 Fabrizio took over the estate, devoting himself to it personally. Today we continue in modern, high-density vineyards, cultivated organically, working in harmony with nature, the land and the wildlife that inhabits it.

our
wines
In the heart of the Carmignano appellation, our red wines are born — an authentic expression of a historic and extraordinary terroir. Every bottle tells a different nuance of the same land, bound by a clear common thread: elegance, structure, and a strong identity. Our selection comes from rigorous choices in the vineyard and in the cellar, in full respect of time and nature. Our labels are graced by the original works of the master Marcello Scuffi, a great friend Fabrizio and a true connoisseur of wine. It was he who asked to bring his gallery onto our bottles, because he sincerely believed in our product: a gesture of friendship and trust that still accompanies us today.
our
oil
In the hills of Carmignano, in the heart of Tuscany, our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is born an authentic expression of a generous land and a centuries old agricultural tradition. Obtained from carefully selected olives and cold-pressed to preserve its aromas and freshness, it stands out for its harmonious and well-balanced profile, rich in elegant green notes. An oil with a sincere character, capable of enhancing every dish with natural elegance and refinement.

our
territory
Carmignano is one of the oldest wines in Italy, with origins dating back to the Etruscan era, as evidenced by the discovery of wine vessels found in Etruscan tombs on Monte Albano. The first written record appears in 1396, when Ser Lapo Mazzei, a notary from Carmignano, informed the merchant Marco Datini of Prato of the purchase of fifteen some of Carmignano wine for his cellar, at the price of 16 lire per soma. A value four times higher than that of local wines at the time, clearly highlighting the prestige and extraordinary quality that this wine already possessed.
