Icario
Where winemaking meets architecture, and environment meets design.
Icario is in Montepulciano, in a corner of Tuscany bordering Umbria, a corner that still maintains its authentic nature and uncontaminated beauty. It is a territory where there are no large factories, but small shops, artisans and a culture of hospitality.
Icario stretches over 51 ha. 25 of these are vineyards in an amphitheatre layout surrounding our winery, at an altitude of 450 m.
We use precision viticulture, which calls for: the drastic reduction of chemical agents, both in terms of quantity and frequency of use, leaf thinning of vines to favour air circulation and reduce the onset of disease, constant monitoring of plant water levels
We respect our plants and strive to ensure they live a long time, which is why we have adopted Simonit & Sirch pruning methods that call for small cuts to the plants during pruning to favour the flow of sap and to avoid the presence of bacteria, as occurs with deep cuts.
Icario winery is perfectly integrated into the landscape, with a breath-taking view of the Valdichiana, it was designed by the Studio Valle in Rome with the aim of keeping mechanical assistance to a minimum.
We offer our guests wine tastings, cellar tours, lunches and aperitifs with local products. Nestled in our property there is also Villa Icario, a luxury restored rural mansion with a breathtaking view on Valdichiana valley. Guests can enjoy the infinity swimming pool overlooking our vineyards.
