Join us for a series of family-style communal dinners at Beacon Tavern, hosted by winemakers from around the world. We'll be pouring beautiful representations of our hosts' wines, paired four courses by Executive Chef Chris Gawronski, plus questions and conversation in an intimate setting with the experts themselves.
March 24, we're thrilled to join Pure Wine Company
to welcome one of the premier wineries of southern Tuscany, Fattoria di Magliano, tasting a beautiful display of the wines of Maremma and Scansano.
ABOUT THE WINEMAKER:
In 1997, Agostino Lenci turned his passion into a business investing in a 97-hectare property in the small town of Magliano in the DOC appellation of Maremma Toscana. Although the region has long since produced wine, it was not internationally recognized for quality until recently. Lenci’s vision to bring glory to this little-known area was realized. In recent years, the Maremma Toscana emerged as a preeminent wine producing region. It was subsequently granted DOC status by the Italian government. Fattoria di Magliano was at the forefront of this endeavor, receiving rave reviews from top critics and consumers alike.
Several years ago, Fattoria di Magliano made the decision to transition to 100% organic viticulture and began practicing new methods. They winery was certified in 2016.
Fattoria di Magliano wines are produced exclusively from estate-grown fruit that is harvested by hand at its peak. The yields are strict, with careful selection taking place directly in the vineyard. The portfolio consists of both traditional wines made from native grapes and innovative blends produced using international varietals in a state-of-the-art winery.
