Products

Crafted by renowned winemaker Franco Bernabei, our special, unique wines beautifully express the essence of our terroir, echoing the rich history of Italy's first DOCG. Infused with the passion of the Rothenberger family and our dedicated team, each bottle tells a story of tradition, innovation, and commitment.

Functional Architecture
Winery

The cellar blends modern technology with traditional materials, offering a space that's practical yet elegant. Spread across three levels and divided into four sections, it's optimized for efficiency from grape arrival to bottling. Notably, the architecture features hand-broken stones from Siena on the exterior and a combination of corten steel and glass inside, giving it a distinct and refined look.

Villa Icario

A high-end hideaway nestled in our property, hidden deep in the Tuscan countryside but a walking distance from the old town of Montepulciano. Decorated with style and elegance, has breathtaking view on our vineyards and on Valdichiana valley. The property has three suites and two cottages, a fully furnished kitchen and classy areas to embrace every desire.

Costruite in pietra di tufo da Vincenzo Florio nel 1832, le Cantine Florio di Marsala rispecchiano lo stile tipicamente anglosassone dell’epoca, con ampi archi a sesto acuto e pavimento in ”battuto” di polvere di tufo.

La visita guidata all’interno delle Cantine Florio è un viaggio che inizia davanti ai maestosi tini giganti, costruiti alla fine dell’800 e ancora utilizzati per l’affinamento del marsala, e prosegue all’interno delle 3 affascinanti bottaie, lunghe 165 metri e intervallate da ben 104 arcate, sotto cui si allineano 1.400 caratelli e circa 600 fra botti e tini di diversa capacità in cui vengono custoditi, nel silenzio e nella calma immobilità, circa 5.500.000 litri di marsala.

Dopo un tour attraverso le bottaie si accede alle avanguardistiche Sale di degustazione Donna Franca e Duca Enrico. Qui i visitatori vengono accolti da spazi innovativi, in cui la degustazione dei vini Corvo, Duca di Salaparuta e Florio si trasforma in un’esperienza suggestiva grazie anche all’abbinamento con un’attenta selezione di tipicità gastronomiche.
