The fourteen hectare vineyards of Tenuta Casteani sit above ancient abandoned mineral mines in the Maremma region of Tuscany. Mario Pelosi and his son Marco work the vineyards and craft the wines along with the help of world renowned oenologist Graziana Grassini, producing wines with the unique balance of power and finesse.
