GRATI TOSCANA, ITALY

The Grati family have been growing grapes and olives in the Rufina hills for five generations. Villa di Vetrice is the family’s 15th century Tuscan villa and is the ancient soul of the property. Gianfranco, daughter Cristiana, and son Gualberto, are the current generation running the business. Their two estates, Vetrice and Galiga, cover an astounding 1,385 acres, of which 345 acres are under vine. This is a relatively small appellation of only about 2,000 acres in total, making Grati very significant holders. The wines are fresh and elegant, and offer remarkable value.
