GRATENA Societa' Agricola Srl

Gratena is a winery on the hills of Arezzo, Tuscany.
It was bought my grandfather in the year 1968, he loved Tuscany
and he was attracted by a long road of Cypres, typical road of
Tuscany.
Composed of 180 hectares of which 152 hectares of Mediterranean
forest, 18 hectares of vineyards and of these 12 Chianti
certificated and 4 certificated Typical Geographical Indication.
It also has 10 hectares of olive plants for a total of 1600 also
certified IGP.
The company has been completely organic since 1994, one of the
first in Italy. Bottles and certifies everything Bio, wine and
Olive oil. Total production may vary according to the climate but it is around 50/80,000
bottles per year.
It also has 4 apartments for the agritourism business.
Since the year 2000 Gratena has begun to internationalize and
currently exports to many countries around the world.
The main export countries are Sweden, the United States, Canada,
and Japan.
It differs from many other companies because from the beginning it
decided to produce only autoctonous wines without imported vines.
Sangiovese and Gratena Nero, a vine recently rediscovered and
certified by the Tuscany Region definitively in 2017 of which we
are the sole owner and producer.In the year 2018 it was certified
that Gratena Nero is Sinonimous of Incrocio Terzi 1 a grape of
small quantities planted around the hills of Bergamo, infact the
last owner of Gratena was from Bergamo. Incrocio Terzi 1,
therefore Gratena Nero, is a mix of Cabernet Franc and Barbera,
this was certified.
The company has decided to focus all its efforts on Sangiovese and
Gratena Nero to identify and impose its own terroir and brand.
Small company but like many small companies it carries out a work
based on an international background already present before and on
brand enhancement programs that provide for distribution and sale
worldwide.
All the processing is natural, manual harvest, spontaneous
fermentation without yeasts and sulphites, fertilization with
manure. Just some sulphites before the bottlement.
Nature helps us, not always, to keep our Terroir in balance.
