About Podere Il Castellaccio Somatico

Even when the same grape varieties, proportions, and winemaking processes are employed, external conditions can significantly alter the results. Climatic conditions, soil, agricultural practices, and numerous other factors influence the growth of the grapes, rendering each vintage unique and distinct. This is precisely what the vintner Alessandro Scappini affirms in each of his vintages at his family winery, Podere Il Castellaccio, in Tuscany (Italy). Such is the case that even with Podere Il Castellaccio Somatico, a red wine crafted from the indigenous pugnitello variety, this uniqueness is showcased by annually renewing the label design. Its designer, Andrea Carciola, has created a composition of twenty faces that changes with each harvest. A true statement of intent.

Hailing from 50-year-old vines planted on marl schist soils at an altitude of 160 metres above sea level, Podere Il Castellaccio Somatico is an atypical red that revives a forgotten and abandoned variety from Tuscany. The cultivation is organic, and the grapes are harvested manually at the optimal moment of ripeness. In the winery, fermentation occurs with native yeasts in concrete vats, with maceration on the skins for approximately two weeks. Subsequently, the wine matures in 500-litre barrels for 12 months. Finally, it is bottled and aged for another 12 months before being released to the market.

With pugnitello being an ancient, forgotten grape that has found a new home in the lands of the Tuscan Maremma, Podere Il Castellaccio Somatico is a tribute to history, the land, and the art of winemaking. It is a testament to the expertise that Alessandro Scappini revives in its most authentic form, year after year.
