Wine cellar
Podere Il Sapito doesn't have its own wine cellar for the wine-making activities, so this service is provided by Podere La Casetta located only a few kilometres away ( about this wine cellar features we invite you to visit the internal section about that Podere La Casetta) where wine-making and storage in special containers take place
Wine
All the wines produced by this Podere come from organic-grown vineyards. The range is made of only two wines: Il Brigante (red) and L' Eremita (white). Those wine's names recall historical characters who lived in the woods surrounding those vineyards, that is to say the Crippled gang and San Vivaldo, a hermit coming from San Gimignano.
Both red and white fruit wines have special flavours because of the elevation, of the peculiar ground and the special environment conditions
Wine Production
We use different kinds of grapes, all coming from different Tuscan areas, but all our products have something in common: high quality
