Carmignano Riserva Grumarello 2019

It was 1935 when Giuseppe Olmo – known to all as Gepin – made history by setting a new distance hour record in international cycling. Olmo knew the value of hard work; he knew, like any athlete, that every goal is the result of sacrifice and perseverance. He came from a family of modest means and was a self-made man. The land was for him a refuge and livelihood, beauty and responsibility. When he bought Tenuta di Artimino in the 1980s, he was a successful entrepreneur looking forward to the future.

The estate is rooted in an important history: a land inhabited by the Etruscans, then a medieval village with turrets, and at the end of the 16th century, a favourite place of the Medici family. In 1596, Ferdinand I de' Medici decided to build his hunting lodge here, the current Medici Villa La Ferdinanda, a UNESCO World Heritage site. As illustrious testimonies confirm, this land has been a true cradle of art, good living, and wine for centuries, making the Medici villa of Artimino a unique place.

Today, Tenuta di Artimino is a home for the Olmo family, a place to care for, a treasure to be protected. For several years now, the business has been run by Annabella Pascale and Francesco Spotorno Olmo, the third generation of the family.
