The Podere San Michele is in the Caduta district of San Vincenzo in the maremmana countryside.
As part of the Biserno Farm, owned by the Romanof-Gherardesca family until 1956 when they sold off part of the estate, the Podere San Michele became the property of the Socci family and they continued to cultivate the land as it had always been cultivated despite the relatively small yields.

In 1994 however, the involvement of the younger generation of Socci's, with their passion for wine, finally started to gain some success and recognition for the wine that had, until then, only been sold straight from the barrel.

In 2000, the women of the family took charge: Tiziana, assisted by brother George takes care of the practical details of producing wine, whilst Marina is responsible for the administration and outside contacts.

In the last few years, thanks to a change in direction, not to mention a few brave choices about the type of grapes to plant and cultivation methods to use, the company is now producing top quality wine from the new vineyards as well as the old ones that have been revitalized.

Well-known winemaker, Luca D'Attona is a valued member of the team. He started his career following traditional methods and ideas, then moved on to more innovative, experimental techniques and is now an expert and devotee of bio-dynamic methods such as those currently used in some of the Podere di San Michele's vineyards.
