After more than twenty years of research, started with the creation of the first edition of “La Quadratura del Cerchio” in 1995, we finally arrived to the identification of a diffused Terroir: a set of extraordinary vineyards, which wind along an imaginary thread placed on the 43° North Parallel. The 43° Parallel is magic, it is mystical, it is historical and it is modern, it is marine and it is continental, it is hot and it is cold. The 43rd Parallel North crosses the places that gave origin to the vine – Georgia -, passes through points full of energy, such as Medjugorje or Santiago de Compostela, and reaches Oregon, the new enological frontier of the New World. But it is in its passage over Italy that the 43rd Parallel passes over those areas which for us are the most suitable and expressive for the cultivation of vine: Tuscany, Umbria and Marches.

The right place is the 43rd North Parallel.
On the 43rd grow native vines of great depth: Verdicchio, Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Vermentino and Sagrantino; reside terroirs of great character, ranging from the southernmost area of Chianti to Montalcino, from the green and round profiles of the Marche soil to the Crete Senesi. This territory is washed by two different seas and makes it even richer in complexity in the grapes that grow here.

CIPRESSO 43
Altrove
Sparkling Wine
Light on the palate and very light on the waist. A true gift arrived by looking for ALTROVE, on the seductive line of Parallelo 43. Obtained from Sangiovese grapes, from the Brunello vineyard of Poggio al Sole.
.bianco
Toscana IGT
It is a white wine made from Vermentino and Verdicchio, the most representative of the grapes local to Italy, being cultivated in the regions of the 43rd parallel which have a long-standing tradition as regards the wine growing and production . The harmonious and sophisticated Tuscan Vermentino wine goes perfectly with the mineral, lively Verdicchio wine of the Marche. A glass of this excellent blend of white wine is infused with the added value of the essence of the Adriatic and the Tyrrenian seas, displaying both emotion and amazement.
.rosso
Toscana IGT
The name ‘Punto’ allows us to reminisce as regards the beginning of our journey as this red wine made from a mix of the pleasant and sensual Sangiovese grapes of Tuscany and the strong bodied Montepulciano grapes of Le Marche, which confer a remarkable consistency to the whole product.
pigreco
Toscana IGT
A red wine made from 100% Sangiovese, may not necessarily compete with the renowned Tuscan DOC and DOCG wines, therefore may get thrown to one side! It’s a wine that faces new challenges in terms of its complexity, altitude and terroirs, which although unknown up until now, is able to express its unique and relevant personality.
la quadratura del cerchio
Toscana IGT
Actually, this is our bet as creating the perfect wine, using Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes. These are not only the most famous local grapes in the Italian oenological horizon, though are also wine varietals, having features in common despite the distance between their places of origin, and above all else they grow along the 43° parallel, the keystone of divine co-fermentations.
