We are located in Cerreto Guidi, 30 km from Florence, on the slopes of Montealbanoin a hilly area on the border with Vinci (the city of Leonardo), an area characterized by the presence of many vineyards and olive groves. The Cantina Podere Fornace Prima has been cultivating these lands since 1950, from his grandfather Elìa, to Alessandro’s father, up to Alessandro and his daughter, who manage manage 4 hectares of vineyards and 500 olive trees that they cultivate following the biodynamic method, then using the preparation 500 (horn manure) and the preparation 501 (white quartz crystals). Alessandro does not use fertilizers, but he sows several plants inside the vineyard to add organic substance and biodiversity so that, in spring, the vineyards are all in bloom recalling a multiplicity of insects. The company has chosen to plant only native Tuscan vines such as Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero, Malvasia Nera and Bianca, Trebbiamo and Vermentino
