The Colle Verde Estate
was assembled in the 16th century by
Tomas Guinigi, a scion of one of the leading families
of Lucca during the medieval and renaissance periods.
Vineyards and olive groves lie on a wide,
south-facing valley
dropping from 300 to 100 meters above sea level. This natural
amphitheater of terraces creates an extremely well balanced
and unique agricultural ecosystem.
The special microclimate and the distinctive
characteristics of our terrain combined with the almost obsessive
care that has been lavished uponour grape vines and olive
trees for centuries enables us to produce
distinctive wines and olive oils
that manifest intense varietal perfumes and full flavors.
Sometimes rather austere and reserved at first,
as you get to know them
they display noble and generous characteristics qualities
that are
very much like those of the people who have lived and
worked in these hills for generations.
