SESTA DI SOPRA TOSCANA, ITALY

Sesta di Sopra is a 110 acre farm dating back to the 1200’s and located south of Montalcino, about 3 miles from Castelnuovo dell’Abate in Tuscany, the ancient land of the Etruscans. The “Sesta Di Sopra” logo contains an Etruscan symbol depicting the sun, which was reproduced from an artefact found on the farm grounds. The farmhouse and surrounding properties were acquired in 1980 by the Spina Family, who restored the farmhouse, once a watchtower, as well as the five acre olive grove to its current state. Not long afterwards, a new vineyard was planted and a second vineyard was created, for a total of only 5 acres of harvestable land. The farm’s location is extremely favorable for olive and grape production, thanks to the soil composition and microclimate.
