Fattoria Aldobrandesca is located in the southern part of Tuscan Maremma, in the center of what is known as “the Etruscan Tuff zone”. Maremma is often associated with its coastline, flat lands, pine tree forests, horses and local cowboys called “butteri” but the estate is in rural Maremma, further inland.

The 100 hectares (247 acres) of vineyards are on the slopes of a spur of rock where the hilltop town of Sovana is located, surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape of remarkable archaeological importance.

Vie Cave was created after very careful geological and oenological research intended to release the potential of this new variety in the Italian viticultural scene. Malbec, a French grape, thrives in Maremma’s volcanic soils, prospering in its new terroir.
