Quasi1Ettaro
by Simone Setti

QUASI1ETTARO is a wonderful land, abandoned for many years uncultivated, purchased in 2015 by Simone.
Located in Guardistallo in Le Rocchette at 250 meters above sea level on a gentle slope facing south west, where the view between meadows, olive groves, hills and valleys, reaches the sea and the Corsican mountains, and the islands of Capraia and Gorgona.
The clayey soil, rich in skeleton, calcarenites, alabaster and fossil shells, evidence of the sea present 23 million years ago, nourishes the vines, that are treated with biodynamic preparations and only a minimal amount of copper and sulfur, with precious minerals. In the historic cellar of the Corsini family in the center of the ancient village of Montescudaio, these splendid portraits of the area come to life, brushed ad hoc by the single hand of the good Simone!
A lot of experience and passion, a splendid territory and here for you some small handmade jewels obtained by the naturally human hand!
