About
Machetti Wines is not a business built for export or scale. It’s personal. They make Rosso Toscano and extra virgin olive oil in limited quantities. They do so by simply taking what the land will give them each year and crafted for friends, family, and the local community. The wine can widely vary depending on the season, the weather and the harvest conditions because the wine is made without any further interference. The grapes are harvested all at the same time, de-stemmed, fermented (spontaneous) in stainless steel, and aged in a concrete vat. In 2024 everything came together perfectly and an incredible wine was born.

People
In the heart of the small village of Ville di Corsano, beside a 9th-century medieval watchtower, lives the Machetti family. They live off the land and rent a few rooms as part of a traditional Tuscan agriturismo. Here, Graziano Machetti, along with his daughter Sara and her partner Matia, produces extra virgin olive oil and wine. The family welcomed us with quiet pride—no big labels, no large operation, just tradition, care, and a deep connection to the land.

Place
The wine region around Siena features rolling hills with clay, marl, and limestone-rich soils, ideal for Sangiovese. The landscape offers excellent drainage and sun exposure. Hot days of 90 F C (32 C) and cool nights of 64 F (18 C) during the growing season create a strong diurnal shift, enhancing acidity and aroma. The climate is Mediterranean with dry summers, moderate rainfall, and occasional cooling breezes from the Tuscan Apennines. The region lies about 70–100 km from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west, allowing limited maritime influence.
Culture
Each year, the family harvests what nature provides, using traditional Tuscan methods to craft Toscano Rosso, Chianti (only in the best years), and extra virgin olive oil. And the 2024 wine we loved? It sells for six euros—wait, what?! That’s when you realize it’s not about price—it’s about heart. Sometimes, language barriers give way to something deeper: awareness. When we tasted their wine, we felt the soul of the place. The slower rhythm of village life. The sincerity of people doing something well—not for prestige, but out of care, connection, and respect for their past.
