Badia di Morrona
The history of Badia di Morrona dates to 1089, when Benedictine monks first tended these hills around an abbey in the Tuscan countryside between Pisa and Volterra. They understood then that this land – an ancient seabed laced with marine fossils, kissed by sea breezes and blessed with sun-drenched slopes — was ideal for winemaking.
Today, the abbey still stands at the heart of the estate, and the Gaslini Alberti family has shepherded it forward since 1939. Across 600 hectares of rolling Tuscan splendor — cypress woods, silver-green olive groves, and 110 hectares of vineyards climbing the hills of Terricciola — the family maintains the tradition began a mere 900 years ago in crafting wines that taste unmistakably of this place.
Sangiovese remains the heart of everything we do, finding its fullest expression in VignaAlta, our estate cru. Alongside it, N’Antia and Taneto explore what this terroir can offer to other noble varieties, each interpreted with the same restraint and respect for place.
