Carmina Arvalia

Origins & Story

Carmina Arvalia is a small natural wine project based in Castagneto Carducci, Tuscany, at Podere Trinci. The vineyard was planted in 2003 by Pasquale Perrone, who transferred a planting right from his native Salento. After his passing in 2009, his daughter Maria Chiara Perrone, a lawyer by profession, decided to carry on the work and continue the dream of producing authentic, artisanal wine.
