It was 1970 when the Puntscher family took over the Tenuta del Fontino winery in the Tuscan Maremma (near the sea). An integral part of the land was not only the 15 hectares of vineyards, but also a further 735 hectares of forest, meadows, olive groves, accommodation and production buildings and a private bathing lake of considerable size.
Mother and daughter Puntscher rule over these lands and engage in tourism and fabulous winemaking. The barren vineyards produce charismatic wine with a lot of character.
In 2016, the conversion to a biodynamic and Demeter-certified winery was initiated. Since 2020, only biodynamic wine has been produced. As consulting oenologists, Eva Volpi and Andrea di Maio are heavily involved in the creation of the characterful wines - the microphone of the terroir. Spontaneously fermented wines are bottled unfiltered and sing their moving song of the beauty and richness of the landscape. The wines are a reflection of what happens in the vineyard during the year.
In addition to winemaking, the focus of the Toskana-Frauenpower team is on simple and elegant hospitality, which not only meets the highest standards in accommodation and wine, but also excels in culinary terms. The close connection with the surrounding nature, the lush lands, the bathing lake are the absolute highlight of a stay in the microcosm of Tenuta del Fontino in the Tuscan Maremma.
