The Art of Harvest: Living the Tuscan Tradition

Every year, as summer begins to fade and autumn quietly approaches, something magical happens in Tuscany. The hills change color, the air becomes sharper, and the vineyards come alive with the harvest.

At Fattoria di Montemaggio, the harvest is not just a task — it is a celebration, a tradition, and a moment when the entire year comes together in a single rhythm of hands, baskets, and laughter among the vines.

🌿 More Than Picking Grapes

When we rise at dawn to begin the day, there is a feeling of anticipation in the air. The first rays of sunlight stretch across the hills, and the vineyard feels alive with possibility. Harvesting by hand is hard work, but it is also joyful. Every cluster we pick carries within it the story of an entire season: the winter pruning, the spring blossoms, the long summer days.

🍇 The Community of Harvest

In Tuscany, the harvest has always been about people. Families, friends, and neighbors gather to work side by side. Conversations flow as naturally as the grape juice, and even the most tired hands are warmed by the sense of belonging.

At Montemaggio, this spirit of community is alive. For us, it is not only about filling baskets with grapes — it is about filling hearts with memories.

✨ The Special Charm of Rosé

Among all the grapes we harvest, those destined for Rosé hold a special charm. Picked a little earlier, they are bright, fresh, and full of life. After a gentle press, their juice turns the most delicate pink, like the evening light over the Tuscan hills.

Our Rosé is not only a wine — it is a reminder of mornings in the vineyard, crisp and golden, when laughter echoed between the rows.

🥂 A Tradition That Lives On

Harvest is the heartbeat of Tuscany. It is where history and present meet, where hard work becomes celebration, and where wine becomes more than a drink — it becomes a story.

When you share a bottle of Montemaggio, you are not only tasting grapes. You are tasting the harvest itself: the voices, the laughter, the land, and the centuries of tradition that live in every sip.
