About Winemaker:

In 2013, Cipriano Barsanti leased 7 hectares of vines in the Capannori hills. He had run out of space at Macea, the vineyard he works with his brother Antonio on the other side of the Serchio valley. The initial idea was to absorb these new vines into his established label – with its reputation for world-class wines. But Cipo saw quickly that he was working with paradoxical terroirs. To merge them would have been a betrayal of both vineyards. So he has set up two very different labels: where he is free to explore two very different identities. Macea and Camiliano.
