Story of a Family
A story that began in 1954, when Emilio Fuselli, a farmer from Marche emigrated to Tuscany in Bolgheri, buy a plot of land from the “Marchese Incisa della Rocchetta”. With the production of this land, built the house, the foundation of the family. After him, his son Aldo, continues its activity with the expansion of the land by introducing the production of extra virgin olive oil.
But it was Maurizio after a decennial experience from Antinori to take over the company, transforming radically, planting only vineyards.
The great passion for the earth transmitted to him by his grandfather Emilio, the search for quality as its target and higher education gained in the field enable Maurizio to hone his capacity and bringing him to the construction of the winery: small but innovative and functional, conceived to unite genuine tradition with all the most advanced winemaking technique. The first harvest was in 2003 with the release of "Emilio Primo", in honor of grandfather Emilio Fuselli who inspired and carried Maurizio.
In 2014 Alessandro Fuselli, Maurizio's firstborn, a graduate of Pisa in oenology, joined the company.
Together they expanded production and foreign markets, a project to which Samuele, the second son, joined in 2015, who became passionate about it and managed all the company vineyards.
Today the winery is run by Maurizio's sons: Alessandro, Samuele and Filippo.
Philosophy
The company philosophy is an integral part of the essence of life for the whole family Fuselli.
Great attention to the Territory, local products and a great respect for nature, are the basis of quality’s research at all stages of processing "From the Earth to the wine."
The Territory: Bolgheri
Bolgheri, now famous around the world for the production of wine and oil quality, is located "in the upper Maremma", consisting of a circumscribed area lying between the coasts of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the hills of town Castagneto Carducci, which as a barrier, protecting the plain, creating a unique microclimate in the world.
The Climate
Across the plain of Bolgheri we have a excellent brightness, either directly from the sun and also thanks to the glare of the sea. A microclimate ventilated, during the hot days of August the grapes enjoy the sea breeze, during the night creates thermal excursion, caused by the refreshing breeze of the hills behind.
The average annual temperature is about 15 ° C, ranging from 5 ° C in December and January to 26-27 ° C in August.
The average annual rainfall is about 600-650mm, with well distributed rain: more abundant during the vegetative development from March to June, almost entirely absent during the ripening of the fruit, then again abundant rain after the harvest.
All this causes a slow maturation and regular, constantly bringing the vintage where in the grapes all qualitative components are in harmony to give substance and balance to the wines.
The Ground
Deep soil with the correct mix of clay medium body and a skeleton that usually can keep winter’s waters, returning it during dry periods, good for our vines.
The Vineyard
A vineyard planted in the direction of sea-mountain at a distance such that the air can be channeled and circulated in the rows of vines for the best benefit of the maturation of the grapes and to minimize pesticide treatments. An investment of about 7,100 plants per hectare, designed to obtain a correct yield of grapes with the highest quality.
"... because good wine born from the Earth!" (Cited in Maurizio Fuselli)
