Over time, siblings Maria, Iris and Claudio Tipa, united by their passion for nature and great wines, realized their dream by creating a group of wine estates in Tuscany. The group, known as ColleMassari, includes three prestigious properties: the Castello di ColleMassari, acquired in 1998, Podere Grattamacco, added in 2002, and Fattoria Poggio di Sotto, incorporated in 2011.
Castello ColleMassari
Founded in 1998 and located in the Montecucco DOCG in Alta Maremma, between the renowned Brunello di Montalcino and Morellino di Scansano DOCGs, it benefits from ideal conditions for growing Sangiovese. The first wine produced dates back to 2000.
Grattamacco
Founded in the late 1970s and located in DOC Bolgheri, it immediately attracted market attention for its production of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. The first wine produced was in 1982.
Poggio di Sotto
Founded in 1989 and located in the heart of the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG territory, it is recognized as one of the region’s classics. It is famous for both Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino DOC, earning numerous awards from Italian and foreign wine critics. The first wine produced dates back to 1991.
Tenuta San Giorgio
In addition to these three estates, the group also includes Tenuta San Giorgio, founded in 1982 in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, in the commune of Montalcino. Situated in a prime location on the top of a ridge 400 meters above sea level, Tenuta San Giorgio produced its first wine in 1985.
