Fattoria di Magliano

Fattoria di Magliano was founded in 1996 by Agostino Lenci in the heart of the Maremma, in the small town of Magliano in Toscana. The estate emerged at the inflection point of the modern Maremma's transformation, when the broader region was transitioning from undervalued agricultural territory to one of Italy's most ambitious quality wine zones. Agostino Lenci built the project on a 97-hectare property, immediately committing to organic certification across the entire operation. The estate's identity has consistently emphasized the fusion of tradition and innovation, combining indigenous Tuscan varieties with selected international grapes to produce a portfolio that reflects both the Maremma's heritage and its modern ambition. The Morellino di Scansano DOCG status awarded to the Heba bottling demonstrates the estate's engagement with the region's flagship Sangiovese-based appellation.

The Fattoria di Magliano property covers 97 hectares with 52 hectares planted to vines in Magliano in Toscana, within the Maremma Toscana DOC. The estate sits in the central Maremma between the coastal Tyrrhenian Sea and the inland hills, on soils that combine sandy alluvial deposits and clay typical of the area. Maritime breezes from the nearby Tyrrhenian coast provide cooling moderation during the warm Mediterranean summer, supporting both early-ripening Vermentino whites and the late-ripening Sangiovese and Bordeaux red varieties that anchor the estate. The full 97-hectare property also includes olive groves, woodland, and pasture, reflecting the integrated organic agricultural approach.

Fattoria di Magliano's plantings cover both indigenous Tuscan varieties and selected international grapes. Sangiovese dominates the red production, supplemented by Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Vermentino is the primary white. The 80% allocation to Sangiovese and Vermentino reflects the estate's commitment to indigenous Tuscan varieties as the core identity, with international grapes providing complementary blending material and limited single-variety bottlings. Winemaking is fully certified organic, with the Sinarra bottling notable as a 100% Sangiovese produced without added sulfites, an unusual choice that reflects the estate's exploration of minimal-intervention techniques. Other wines are made with conventional organic winemaking practices, typically aged in a combination of stainless steel and French oak depending on style.

Heba is the estate's Morellino di Scansano DOCG, the regional flagship Sangiovese-based red. Capato is a Sangiovese-based estate bottling with broader varietal flexibility. Perenzo is an international-variety wine showing the estate's Bordeaux side. The Vermentino-based white provides a maritime-influenced counterpoint to the red range. Overall, the portfolio reflects Fattoria di Magliano's deliberate strategy of pairing indigenous Tuscan tradition with carefully selected international varieties under a coherent organic framework.

Fattoria di Magliano is one of the central Maremma's most thoughtful organic estates, demonstrating that the region's modern transformation can be built on indigenous Tuscan varieties as much as on international Bordeaux grapes. The 80% allocation to Sangiovese and Vermentino, combined with full organic certification and experimental minimal-intervention winemaking like the sulfite-free Sinarra, positions the estate as a counterpoint to the more internationally focused Bordeaux-blend specialists of coastal Bolgheri and the upper Maremma. The Morellino di Scansano DOCG-status Heba further anchors the estate in the regional appellation framework. Agostino Lenci's deliberate combination of organic farming, indigenous variety emphasis, and accessible pricing has built a sustainable model for Maremma viticulture that does not depend on the international-variety pricing premium.
