Tenuta di Tavignano Winery

The History of Tenuta di Tavignano

Founded in 1973, Tenuta di Tavignano is a family-owned winery located in the picturesque region of Marche, Italy. The estate was established by Stefano Aymerich di Laconi, who hails from Sardinian and Spanish roots, and his wife Beatrice Lucangeli, a descendant of a long line of winemakers in Marche. Spanning 230 hectares, the estate overlooks the charming countryside of Cingoli, often referred to as the “Balcony of Marche.” It is situated within the renowned Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi area, where Tavignano stands as one of the key producers.

In 2014, Ondine de la Feld joined her uncle Stefano in managing the winery, bringing a fresh, dynamic approach to the business. Together with a motivated team, they are committed to maintaining the winery's legacy while embracing modern practices.

The Vineyards of Tenuta di Tavignano

In 2014, Tenuta di Tavignano began its transition to organic farming, and by 2018, the winery achieved full organic certification for its vineyards, olive groves, and arable land. The estate features 230 hectares of land, with 30 hectares dedicated to vineyards, carefully arranged by grape variety.

The highlight of the estate is the Verdicchio grape, which thrives in amphitheater-shaped vineyards facing south-southeast. A notable section, known as “Misco,” overlooks the Musone River and derives its name from the ancient Latin term “Miscus.” This unique parcel produces exceptional Verdicchio grapes, showcasing the variety's complexity and aging potential.

The red grape vineyards are distinguished by their rocky subsoil, a remnant of a former stone quarry. This geological feature contributes to the unique character of the wines produced from these grapes, enhancing their flavor profiles.
