Aprilante Video Review

This weekend I had the pleasure of speaking with Sergio Gargari from Pieve de’ Pitti about the super Tuscan white wine, Aprilante, made from Vermentino (40%) and white Malvasia (60%).



A big thanks to LAR @ www.sourgrapes.ie for doing the honors with the video production

Pieve de' Pitti

Pieve de’ Pitti is situated in the southern part of Terricciola, in the heart of “Alta Valdera”. There are 198 hectares of woods, cultivated fields and above all vineyards and olive groves that stretch radially, on the hill with the main landmarks, the Villa and the Castle of Pava. The name Pieve de’ Pitti in derived from the name the name of parish chapel of St. John of Pava, built on the ruins of an ancient Etruscan church And from the Florentine Pitti family, who owned the estate until the end of XVII century.

The road that leads to Pieve de’ Pitti offers a wonderful panorama, it winds uphill full of vineyards and olive trees, guarded by an age-old oak, nominated among the monumental old trees of Italy, until the top of the hill, where it enters a wood of ilexes and in the very center there are the historical wine cellars, the villa and the castle, and the park with the swimming pool.
