The history of Podere Fedespina

Our first harvest was in 2006. More than a desire, a destiny intertwined with our family and this unique and special land that is our home: la Lunigiana.

Mirta Fedespina and Antonio Farina demonstrated that the upper Lunigiana has the credentials to produce quality and prestigious wines, in the best tradition of Tuscan reds, safeguarding the territorial specificity, without homologation with wines produced in other regions.

The central building, now used as a farmhouse, dates back to the 1600s and is located on a hill 250 meters above sea level, surrounded by the green mountains of Lunigiana. It offers an incomparable view of the Val Magra, the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps.

The production

The Podere Fedespina vineyards are located in the Tuscan Apennines, surrounded by the green hills of La Lunigiana, at 250 m. above sea level, and enjoy an ideal exposure to the sun as well as climate for viticulture of character. In 2003 Mirta and Antonio decided to renew their vineyard replanting Merlot (present in upper Lunigiana since the early twentieth century) and Ciliegiolo. 

Since 2014 Podere Fedespina has taken care of part of the vineyard which, in the past, was destined for the production of Pinot Noir and, since 2015, has joined the two historic wines with this prestigious grape variety produced by vines over 40 years old and a limited number of bottles, taking as a name the Fedespina company.

The wines are produced in a natural way, without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fining and filtration. The yields are low, a selection of healthy and rich bunches that give life to wines with a minimum level of sulphites, of structure, freshness and elegance.
