Massa Vecchia is a pioneering natural wine estate in Tuscany’s Alta Maremma, founded in 1985 by Fabrizio Niccolaini. From the outset, the estate rejected industrial practices in favor of organic farming, later adopting full biodynamics by 2004. Located on limestone soils near Massa Marittima, the six hectare estate, now run by Fabrizio’s daughter Francesca Sarti, focuses on indigenous varieties like Sangiovese, Trebbiano, and Aleatico. All wines are made with native yeasts, extended maceration, no filtration, and minimal or no sulfur. With a strong sense of place and a minimalist approach, Massa Vecchia remains one of Italy’s most respected voices in natural winemaking.
Massa Vecchia’s Rosato 2022 is produced from direct press Aleatico, grown on limestone rich soils in the Poggio parcel. Fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel and aged in neutral vessels, the wine is bottled unfiltered with minimal or no sulfur. Pale copper in hue, it retains Aleatico’s signature aromatic lift, rose petal, wild strawberry, dried herbs, while remaining dry, saline, and savory. A structured, gastronomic rosato with grip and tension, showing remarkable depth for the category.
