Ormanni
ORMANNI
“so that it should not seem remarkable when I speak of the noble Florentines, whose fame is buried by time. I have seen the Ughi, seen the Catellini, the Filippi, Grechi, Ormanni and Alberichi, illustrious families already on the wane.”
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) – Divine Comedy, Paradise Canto XVI
The estate was elected as countryside dwelling and passed from the Ormanni to the Scarlatti family in the XVI century and afterwards to the Medici in the XVIII century. In 1818 Carlotta Lenzoni de’ Medici, already famous for having purchased Boccaccio’s house in Certaldo and having it restored as a Museum, resold the Ormanni estate to Vincenzo Brini di Angelo from Carmignano, next to Prato. The bill of sale dates January 30 th , 1819.

OUR CELLARS
Our cellar is articulated in 4 rooms according to the different phases of wine production: steel containers, concrete and glass vats, barrels and barriques (oak barrels).
The first fermentation occurs in steel containers, the new wine is then stored in concrete and glass vats and eventually in barrels and barriques.
Situated below the garden of the Villa, the oldest part of the cellar dates back to the end of 1700 when it was excavated in the tuff, as it can still be seen inside. Wine ageing occurs in barrels and barriques in this part of the cellar.
