- In 2001, Lidia Bastianich, Joe
Bastianich and Mario Batali joined
forces to create La Mozza, a 100
acre property located in the Maremma
region of Tuscany (Magliano in
Toscana, Grosseto) near Scansano
southwest of Montalcino, 10 miles
from the Tyrrhenian sea. Unlike
other regions of Tuscany which
are bound to regulations which
define and restrict grapes and
wine styles, Maremma allows more
freedom of
expression in order to achieve
our goal of producing unique wines
by incorporating mediterranean
varietals such as Alicante, Petit
Verdot, and Syrah. Through the
research of our winemaker Maurizio
Castelli, who also produces the
Bastianich wines in Friuli, we
are convinced that La Mozza is
the ideal location.

 - I Perazzi was created to be
unlike most other Morellino's
which see little or no time in
oak. The blend of I Perazzi is
more expressive and better demonstrates
the potential of the terroir.
It also hints towards what the
top wine from the estate called
Aragone. I Perazzi is named after
the fruit trees that grow on the
estate and bear a pear like fruit,
which is depicted on the label.

 - Aragone was created to be unlike
"Super Tuscan" wines.
Our goal was to create a unique
and particular blend by incorporating
Mediterranean varietals such as
Alicante, Syrah and Carignan.
Aragone relates to the Aragons
of Spain who together with the
Medici family of Florence dominated
the region of Maremma. The six
point star depicted on the label
represents an arial view of a
military fort called "Forte
Stella" located in Porto
Ercole just south of Grosseto.
It was built around 1550 by the
Spanish.
- Grape Varietals: 40% Sangiovese,
25% Alicante, 25% Syrah, 10% Carignan
- Vinification: Indigeneous yeasts,
100% in tonneaux (500 Liters)
- Aging: 100% of the wine aged
in tonneaux (500 Liters)
- Number of cases produced: (6
bottles cases) 1500
