Santa Caterina

Azienda Agricola Santa Caterina is a small estate situated in the Magra Valley, the most eastern part of Liguria between the Magra River, mountains and sea. Officially part of both Liguria and Tuscany, the area and its inhabitants share their own historical and cultural identity. In this mountainous land ancient native grape varieties such as Albarola, Vermentino, Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo are grown in Santa Caterina's four vineyards although proprietor Andrea Kihlgren also likes to experiment with non-native varieties as Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Tocai. All viticulture is based on organic principles, aiming at a pure and optimal expression of variety, vintage and terroir.
