Sequerciani

Sequerciani is a Demeter certified biodynamic farm in Maremma (Tuscany), producing wine, olive oil and other biodynamic agriculture products. In 1992, Ruedi Gerber, a film maker, started to recreate the abandoned farm Sequerciani with organic farming. Three years later he started to work the soil with biodynamic methods gradually growing into a 60 ha agriculture “azienda” and giving hospitality in its beautiful farmhouses. The soft panoramic hills, on an altitude of about 200 m above sea level, 25 minutes away from the sea, provide a fertile soil ideal for our natural wine and the gentle breeze prevents the grapes from damage. Our intention is to surprise with a wine that has a genuine pure taste full of grapes, sun and the terroir it originates. Nothing else. Our indigenous local grapes – quite recently rediscovered – such as Pugnitello and Foglia Tonda – are ideal for this kind of soil and climate. Other types of grapes we grow at Sequerciani are Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, Aleatico (Passito) and Vermentino. We use old artisan techniques including spontaneous fermentation, in a contemporary setting with lab analyses. We do not intervene and don’t use any additives, no yeasts, no sulfites, on the other hand we don’t exclude anything that is a natural part of wine (no filtering). Our wines are aged in clay jars (amphora) that allow a perfect micro oxidation and exalt the flavours of the grapes. Our wine is young and treated carefully with biodynamic methods – it is young as our curious spirit to create flavours that let you participate in this very emotional sensory process. We let our wine to be free and to be true to its own and therefore we let it speak for itself – a message in the bottle. Certified organic and biodynamic by BioAgriCert and Demeter
