Mario Macciocca

Mario Macciocca's path to wine ran through a football pitch and a cocktail bar. A near-graduate in physics who spent years behind the stick at Rome's historic La Palma club, he eventually followed a different call , back to the countryside his grandfather Giuseppe had farmed since 1945. Today he works four hectares of biodynamic vines on the steep limestone slopes above Piglio in Lazio, where Cesanese has been the defining red grape for centuries.

Piglio sits in the foothills of the Apennines southeast of Rome, at the heart of the Cesanese del Piglio DOC , one of only two appellations in Lazio dedicated to this ancient variety. The Scalambra mountains form the backdrop, and the surrounding Simbruini chain creates a cooler, more continental microclimate than the Roman plain below. Limestone-marl soils define the terroir, bringing freshness and structure to wines from this still-emerging area.
