After spending several years with Maurizio Saettini, the discreet English winemaker Tim Manning took over the new Pienza estate in 2020. A Sangiovese purist with a minimalist approach, he makes micro-vinifications in tanks from a wholebunch harvest of the Dujac Method and carries out the famous manual punch-downs that are his signature. his signature. From his experiences in Oregon and New Zealand, he also brought back the use of bunches during the vinification, the long and slow macerations with indigenous yeasts, low sulfur use and aging in cement tanks & barrels and custom filtration. Ad-hoc and natural vinification, to obtain a rare and unique expression of Val d'Orci.
