A few meters from the town of Suvereto, in Campo al Drago, Carlo Parenti created the Macchion dei Lupi company in 2005. He does not come from this world nor does he have the technical background to approach it. A law graduate, a citizen of the financial Milan of the early 2000s, he worked in an office in an investment bank but decided to abandon everything and follow his instinct. He attended a master's degree in wine company management that took him to Suvereto for an internship. Here he identified a small plot of land of just over 2 hectares and his instinct led him to buy it. There was nothing on the property. Neither vineyards nor a cellar. He returned to Milan and karma wanted a meeting at a wine fair to lead to a collaboration with a wine company in Suvereto. It was the opportunity to move permanently, equip the land and begin to renovate a ruin. It was 2005, the year the first vine shoots were planted. Carlo immediately chose to delve into biodynamics. In his land, a precursor. He chooses a path to wines far from the great reds celebrated throughout the world branded Suvereto. In a warm and sunny area, he pursues the idea of a wine that is not concentrated, not caricatural or constructed. He finds in biodynamics the key to making wines according to territory and season, original and of great character. In the vineyard, no one uses any fertilization but only sowing between the rows of 15 different essences that in spring explode into herbaceous plants as tall as poles full of blooms, essential for increasing the complexity of the ecosystem. Cutting and shredding the blooms become organic substance useful for strengthening the identity and autonomy of the vineyard. In the cellar only spontaneous fermentations in truncated-conical vats in French wood and aging in used barriques or cement. 2009 is the year of the first harvest.
