Malgiacca was born from a long-standing friendship between Saverio Petrilli, Lisandro Carmazzi, Luigi Fenoglio, Sarah Richards and Brunella Ponzo, managing old and new vineyards as custodians of the land on which they live and work. Malgiacca produces wines full of character that show the vibrant delicacy of the Tuscan hills, 12 km northeast of the historic city of Lucca, not far from the sea. They manage 7 hectares of vineyards; the youngest vineyard is 12 years old while the oldest is around 50 years old. Each vineyard is treated as a separate unit in order to be able to express the peculiar character of each individual area. Malacca is part of LuccaBiodinamica, a network of local farmers who follow the Biodynamic farming method, working with natural preparations to stimulate the fertility of the soil and avoiding the use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals.
