- 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.

 - 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
