Marco
Mazzarini (above) is the proud proprietor of Poggio Amorelli, a small wine estate just 1
km north of Castellina in Chianti. Marco is an enologist, who also consults many
other wineries around Tuscany.
Marco is
currently rebuilding his wine estate, adding an additional vineyard, and has
rebuilt the wine cellar completely. The stainless steel tanks are hooked up to a
computer that automatically controls temperature thus making a purer and more
homogenous wine.

The
estate is within the Chianti Classico area, but the ground is also well suited
for the French varieties such as merlot and cabernet sauvignon. In fact, this is
evident considering the award winning “Oracolo” (named after Marco’s working
horse). Marco
Mazzarini has bought a terrain in Maremma and has the intention to produce
Morellino di Scansano within a few years.
