The estate spans seven hectares, exclusively planted with Sangiovese vines. Emendatori’s vision was to create a holistic environment where viticulture, art, and music coexist. The vineyards are cultivated following biodynamic principles, and classical music is played among the vines and in the cellar, reflecting the belief that music positively influences plant growth and wine maturation. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGiordano Emendatori, the founder of Tenuta Mara, leads the estate with a passion for biodynamic agriculture and sustainable practices. The winemaking team embraces a non-interventionist philosophy, allowing the natural expression of the Sangiovese grape.

The soils are rich in clay and limestone, providing excellent drainage and mineral content. The combination of altitude, sun exposure, and sea breezes contributes to the development of grapes with balanced acidity and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2017 MaraMia is produced from hand-harvested Sangiovese grapes. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in truncated conical oak vats without temperature control. The wine undergoes a prolonged maceration on the skins for about 30 days. Aging takes place for 16 months in French oak barrels and tonneaux, followed by additional bottle aging to enhance complexity and integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe wine exhibits a medium-intensity ruby red color with garnet reflections.
