It requires a special attitude and a spirit of perseverance to succeed in a place that is as beautiful as it is wild. One of strength. Of stubbornness. It is the exhilaration, freedom, and thrill of working the land with only a mazzarella stick to protect you from the untamed longhorns and stallions while crossing dangerous terrains. The Butteri answer this call of the wild—with their badge of honor, their handmade horse’s breast-collar medallion, made from the same leather as their saddle. This tradition spanning over 2,000 years is why our rich and full-bodied red blend is called Sella Antica, which means “Ancient Saddle.” We proudly share their story on our label and celebrate their enduring legacy.

NEW BLEND

OLD SOUL

Much like the Butteri who call this place home, our Sella Antica winemakers share the same intimate connection with the land they work and protect. A timeless bond with nature developed through generations and fortified by dedication to what they do. It is here that Sella Antica is expertly blended using centuries-old methods. Yet, with dominantly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this blend is a daring new style of red wine unlike those traditional to Tuscany. The result is a smooth red blend that brings out the fruit-forward expressions of the land with notes of ripe blueberries, blackberries, vanilla, and chocolate, followed by spicy hints of black pepper and velvety tannins. A wine as rich as the story of the Butteri that inspired it.
