Producer Agricola i Forestieri
TUSCANY
Agricola i Forestieri is a fascinating project that combines the experience of two wine enthusiasts who, despite coming from different backgrounds, have found common ground in Tuscany. Dario Marinari, with his solid training in viticulture and winemaking, brought with him knowledge acquired in various wineries, both Italian and French. His experience in biodynamic agriculture and natural winemaking, gained in renowned wineries, is reflected in the production philosophy of Agricola i Forestieri. On the other hand, Ezequiel Allassia, originally from Argentina, has embraced the local culture and traditions of the Tuscan Maremma, becoming an integral part of the territory. His experience as a cellar master at Ampeleia, where he met Dario, provided a solid foundation for creating a project that highlights not only local grape varieties, but also respect for the environment and traditional agricultural practices. Agricola i Forestieri's approach stands out for the valorization of historic vineyards, often overlooked, and for the implementation of traditional cultivation methods. The idea of "promiscuous agriculture" and the co-planting of local varieties reflect a deep connection with the territory and its traditions, allowing the wines to express a unique and authentic identity. The different altitudes of the vineyards help to create wines with remarkable balance and complexity, which tell the story of the place and the people who work there. In summary, Agricola i Forestieri is not just a wine project, but a celebration of local culture, biodiversity and passion for wine, which carries on a centuries-old tradition with an innovative and respectful outlook
