A secluded sanctuary rooted in history and immersed in nature; a 500 year old landmark overlooking the most pristine Tuscan coastline; a luscious land that has gifted us with its finest wine and olive oil. Discover Torre Civette.
The flagship wine of Torre Civette, the eponymous “Torre Civette”, is a quintessential Cabernet Franc, boasting a deep ruby colour and signature aromas of spicy and floral notes on the nose. Hand-harvested from select vines, only the finest grapes are meticulously sorted and vinified in small French oak barrels before being aged in barriques for a full year. The result is a refined, complex wine that tantalizes the palate with its rich, velvety texture, harmonious structure, and a lingering finish punctuated by smooth and refined tannins.
“Civetta Brava” is a masterful blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon that undergoes a meticulous fermentation and aging process akin to that of our flagship wine, Torre Civette. The resulting wine showcases a deep ruby colour, accompanied by an alluring bouquet of ripe red fruits, subtle spices, and a delicate hint of vanilla – hallmarks of its exceptional blend. On the palate, it is soft and round, with a pleasantly lingering and enjoyable aftertaste that showcases the wine’s complex and harmonious structure. This refined and elegant wine is a true testament to our winemaking expertise and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
Blended combination of various local olive types, sourced from ‘rotating’ harvests. This naturally clarified oil boasts a clear and green colour, with bold yet elegant grassy notes on the palate. Generous green fruity flavours make it a delightful sensory experience from the moment you open the bottle, with a pleasing aroma that intensifies with each taste. Its lingering flavour on the palate is a true testament to the expertise of our skilled blending process. Enjoy this fine oil plain or simply on a piece of garlic bread, or let it perfectly complement our traditional Maremma dishes.
Crafted by the renowned master distillers of Nannoni Grappe, our Torre Civette grappa is created through the artisanal distillation of fresh pomace. Infused with Sorrento lemon zests, it takes on a distinctive golden hue that catches the eye. Upon first sniff, the scent of fresh pomace harmonizes with the alluring citrus notes of Amalfi coast lemons. On the palate, it delights with a pleasant, full-bodied flavour that reveals surprising complexity and persistence.
Vines have been cultivated in Tuscany for thousands of years, and the beautiful and generous terroir of Maremma has been home to many renowned vineyards and wine producers. At Torre Civette, we are proud to have our very own vineyards that gift us with fine varieties of grapes. We carefully harvest these grapes in the first half of September to produce two exceptional red wines and a grappa that we are particularly fond of.
Inside the Estate, about 400 olive plants averaging 100 years of age surround and protect our vineyards. Each fruit of these magnificent plants tells the story of our land. In November, we carefully harvest the olives by hand, allowing us to feel and discern the quality of each fruit. Once harvested, we take them to the oil mill for pressing.
The oil is immediately filtered and placed in temperature-controlled steel containers to maintain its organoleptic characteristics.
As a blend of various local types of olives, Torre Civette’s olive oil is perfectly suited to complement our traditional Maremma dishes.
On a promontory overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, nestled within the lush Tuscan countryside, stands the Estate’s striking white tower. Originally rebuilt in the 1500s to replace a medieval fortification, the Tower and its adjacent premises have undergone numerous renovations over the centuries to attain their current appearance. Covering an area of 292 acres, the Estate is secluded yet easily accessible by car and offers breath-taking views of the surrounding landscape. It is the perfect setting for an unforgettable experience.
Opening out to the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Maremma seashore surrounding Torre Civette is a breath-taking sanctuary of unparalleled beauty. With stretches of secluded golden sand beaches and rocky coastlines, crystalline turquoise waters, and lush green Mediterranean scrub and vast pine forests, this wild and unspoiled oasis offers a constantly changing landscape that never ceases to surprise. Whether you’re visiting in the height of summer or the crisp days of autumn, the Maremma seashore is a natural wonder to be experienced and cherished.
