- Company details
Tenuta Scrafana is located in Montevarchi, in the viniculture area of Chianti and Valdarno. Nowadays 20 of its 50 hectares of land are vineyards: indigenous varieties like Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo, Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia, and international varieties like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir.
As well as the cultivation of the vines, the presence of a precious orchard of ancient tree varieties, an olive grove and forest, water courses and wild species all contribute to maintaining and developing an important biodiversity that’s vital to all living beings.
The land is truly unique.
In the heart of the hill on which the Estate stands, in an area where a lake once stood during the Pleistocene era, there are soils of varying textures, from sandy loam to sandy clay, both deep or shallow, which are skeletal throughout. The nature of the terrain together with the hillside location, its exposition and the microclimate, with its significant night/day temperature variations, enable the cultivation of a variety of high quality produce.
The company philosophy, founded on the use of environmentally friendly techniques, is particularly geared towards the attainment of high quality grapes, with perfect technological and phenolic ripening.
The vineyards were created to accommodate the terroir and designed to fully respect the environment, including the landscape, using techniques and materials with low environmental impact and respecting the pre-existing appearance. The aim of the agricultural techniques employed is to fully protect the biodiversity and to ensure the level of quality in the final product is one that is only associated with genuinely fine wines. Low vine yields, cover cropping, respect for the soil and the use of organic products are the cornerstones of our cultivation. We carry out every single phase of the winemaking process with the utmost care and attention, arriving at the culmination of our work, the harvest, with great joy and emotion.
All our grapes are harvested by hand.
As soon as the grapes are off the vines and in the winery, they are vinified at controlled temperature in steel and concrete vats. The wine is aged in steel, concrete and clay amphorae as well as in large and small oak barrels. The final stage of the ageing process occurs in bottles within our winery, where the temperature and humidity are controlled to ensure the wine is ready to drink at its very best.
Every single Scrafana product is a tribute to the magnificent land of Tuscany, and especially to the town of Montevarchi.

BENINTENDE Chianti Superiore Docg
Ruby red in colour tending towards garnet.
An intense bouquet, typical of the grape, with fruity notes of red plum, blackberry and cherry accompanied by subtle hints of liquorice.
Its name has a close association with the Scrafana Estate, since it was the name of an old farmer who was the first, according to historical records, to cultivate this area. We don't know what Benintende looked like, because having carefully studied the few documents that exist we found nothing more than a single reference, anyhow we wanted to pay tribute to him by depicting him on the label.
We imagine him to be a humble, proud man who lives for the land and works hard every day to get the best from it.

BERULFO Toscana IGT Rosso
Intense deepish ruby red in colour with ruby-purple reflections.
A complex bouquet comprising fruity aromas of blackcurrant and red plum along with floral notes of violet and elderberry, with hints of black pepper offering a spicy finish.
Its structure, which typifies our land, is reflected in its name, that of the Montevarchi territory's first lord, the Longobard Berulfo who, around 615-620, requested and was granted the right to manage the territory and on which he built monasteries and castles. The image on the label is dedicated to Berulfo, underlining a connection that we still feel today despite the passing of many centuries, because it’s based on an immediate and instinctive love for a territory that's unique throughout the world.

PULCELLA Toscana IGT Rosato
Bright pale pink in colour. An intense bouquet offering delicate fresh red fruit notes of black cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry with spring flower hints of sweet violet, rose and peony.
A combination of finesse and intensity, characteristics that resemble the heroine who inspired its name, the beautiful Sandrina Mari, “Pulcella del Valdarno” (“Maid of Valdarno”), who is featured on the label.
A noble figure who was a fighter and a patriot, the young Alessandra, known as Sandrina, had the courage to challenge Napoleon, leading a volunteer army from Arezzo she'd recruited to defend the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

CAMERECCIO Toscana IGT Bianco
Bright greenish yellow in colour. A fresh, fragrant bouquet with fruity notes of plum and yellow apple.
It owes its name to an ancient breviary, the beauty of whose elaborate decoration is mentioned in historical documents, which was gifted to the Convento di San Lodovico (San Lodovico Convent) in Montevarchi. The label features a monk, in tribute to the centuries of work and effort the monks put into preserving our precious cultural heritage.
