Maremma wines: Morellino di Scansano and Maremma Toscana DOC White are made at the Acquavivia Wine Farm.
The Acquaviva Wine Farm was created in 1984 when Mr. Serafino D’Ascenzi, the present day owner, bought the estate from the Marquess Ciacci.
At first, Mr. Serafino bought only three hectares of white wine vineyards; later, he purchased more land for red wine vineyards so that, nowadays, his property is made up of 20 hectares.
Various types of vines: Sangiovese, Malvasia nera, Alicante, Trebbiano, Chardonnay, Verdello, Riesling, Vermentino, Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Winery
The excellent quality of the wines and praise from wine experts made them decide first to enlarge the original old wine cellar, and then, later, to build the new wine cellar. Their aim was not only to improve the wine itself and to make some new ones but also to make room in the wine cellar for meetings and specific events designed to promote Tuscan and Maremma wine and food in Italy.
The Wine Farm spreads over an area which is the meeting point between the areas of the denomination of origin of the Morellino di Scansano and Maremma Toscana DOC White vineyards around Montemerano and Saturnia Spa.
The Products
Through our wine, the hospitality of the Wine Resort and the refined and genuine Tuscan cuisine of the Limonaia Restaurant, you’ll get to know the wine-producing areas of Maremma: Montemerano, Saturnia, Manciano, Maremma and Tuscany generally.
The wines produced on the estate can be tried in the restaurant or in the wine shop, which is to be found in the old cellar of the agritourism.
We’ll also be happy to show you the wine-producing plant in the new cellar, the cellar itself with its travertine arches, which produce the right climate for the aging in oak barrels, and show you the various different Maremman wines produced in the Acquaviva Estate Cellar.
Apart from the wines, we also produce olive oil, jams, conserves from our vegetable garden, honey from our hives and pasta made from our wheat. Maremman flavours to savour during your stay or at home.
The wines and products from the estate can be bought directly from the agritourism or via internet.
Wine Experience
In the wine shop inside the farmhouse it is possible to taste our Maremma wines, oil and our jams. We organize guided tours of the cellar and the possibility of team building on request.
