Campo Montecristo 2022 Serraiola

The Serraiola winery is now run by the 3rd generation of the family, the two sisters Fiorella and Pamela Lenzi. Fiorella is at the front, looking after the wine and production, she embodies the winery with heart and soul. Pamela pulls the strings in the background and ensures that everything runs smoothly.

They produce wines of good character and often of significant quality. The winery’s wines are solid, well-balanced and of good quality, despite small missteps in the recent past with too much wood in the ageing process. The white wines, as is traditional for this winery, are more original and fresher, while the red wines are more predictable in terms of the grape varieties.

Fiorella Lenzi is one of a kind, a character that people in the wine scene like because she is straightforward, honest and direct, and therefore always polarising – and as a woman, no less. With her passion and patriotic commitment to the region, Fiorella has contributed enormously to the fact that the wines of the Maremma are so well known and developed today, and yet her wines are hardly known, but she as a person is.

The vineyards cover a quarter of the total area in family ownership  family property, about 12 hectares. The first vineyards date back to the ‘70s.  years, then they were gradually replanted with clones that are more
clones that are better suited to this part of the Maremma.

The majority of the vineyard area, 7 hectares, is planted with red grape varieties, mainly Sangiovese, but also Merlot and Syrah. The remaining 3  hectares cover the white grape varieties, some of which are somewhat experimental: Trebbiano, Malvasia, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Traminer, Marsanne and  Roussane.

Since 1994, DOC Monteregio Massa Marittima, a somewhat newer DOC of Tuscany, which also includes the more northern zone of the Maremma, has been produced.
