The great wines, those from ancient lands, from ancient vines have the same scent of the wonderful India ink drawings by Andrea. Only poetry is really able to cross the historical ages speaking the only language that the truest part of us can understand…as well as a bottle can cross oceans carrying messages into the unknown.
Brunello di Montalcino
Along with Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino is Tuscany’s famous DOCG and its boldest expression of the Sangiovese grape. The word Brunello translates roughly as ‘little dark one’, and is the local vernacular name for Sangiovese Grosso, the large-berried form of Sangiovese which grows in the area.
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Our Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is produced and refined in the heart of the production area, from vineyards situated in a countryside rich in traditions and history. The origin of Vino Nobile goes back to the 17th century, when it was defined «The King of Tuscan Wines». Doubtlessly drunk and appreciated by aristocrats (hence its name) this wine has transcended its fame to modern times. In the last 20 years Castellani family took part to the renewal of the excellence of this wine.

The Artist : Andrea Collesano
Andrea Collesano is born in Pontedera in November 1980. Obtained the artistic diploma in 2004, he graduated in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence, with a thesis analysing the metamorphic and mythological figures in Bocklin painting, focusing in particular on the zoomorphic part. He lives and works since several years in Forte dei Marmi. The sea element, the nature and animals are its main source of inspiration. He loves painting with black ink on the paper he prepares by himself, giving to the material a taste of ancient times and a feeling of melancholic serenity.
