A Forward-Looking Farm

Marchesi Ginori Lisci

Castello Ginori is the nucleus around which the medieval village and the farming estate have grown throughout the centuries.
Located in the northern part of Tuscany’s Maremma region, the castle has been owned since the 16th century by the family of Marquis Ginori Lisci, makers of the well known Ginori porcelain.
With over 2,000 hectares of land, 700 of which are cultivated  with cereal crops, the estate has always been a model farming business.

Since 1999 the family has given a major impetus to wine growing with new vineyards and wine making investments.
The first 17 hectares of new specialized vineyards have been planted with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Vermentino and Viognier.
The vineyards belong to the Montescudaio appellation and grow on low hilly terrain (80 m above sea level), on three different parcels, where the soil offers the best pedo-climatic characteristics for the growth of the vine.

The Marchesi Ginori Lisci winery currently makes three red wines: the top wine Castello Ginori (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon), Macchion del Lupo (Cabernet Sauvignon) and Campordigno (Merlot). The other two wines are Bacìo, a perfumed rosé, and Virgola a fresh white wine.

The Ginori Lisci family has always been proud of its history, acknowledging with gratitude the achievements of its ancestors. But each successive generation has always been forward-looking. Today, this vision of the future is represented by a biogas plant that exploits the fermentation process of the estate’s products and by-products, in both the wine and olive oil sectors. The biogas is transformed into renewable energy, partly used by the winery and for the most part contributed to the national electric grid. The residual biomass, degraded by the fermentation processes, is used as natural fertilizer for the estate.
