Pakravan Description

Impero

We are a company that distinguishes itself for its products, as well as for its story. For Pakravan-Papi’s story is a tale of roots, meetings and traditions, a family’s tale, but also of blends.

Enzo Papi of the Maremma and the Iranian Amineh Pakravan met each other in Florence in 1966 as very young students. They flew there with the other “Mud Angels” to salvage the National Library’s books from the Arno’s overflow. Amineh would never leave Italy since then.

Fifty years later, Enzo and Amineh are still bound by a solid marriage with two children, Chiara and Leopoldo, and bound by their whole family’s work in this estate. The latter, which bears both their names, lies on Riparbella’s hills, which gently slope towards the azure of the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Costa degli Etruschi in the background.

Why this name?

Dante Alighieri, in his Divine Comedy, to explain why Latin poet Virgilio wasn’t allowed in Heaven, has him say: “Because I was rebellious against God’s law” (since he was born before the Christian era).

In this way we want our wine to be “rebellious” against the common wisdom that Tuscany can’t produce great white wines.

This is the challenge we took up with this great Tuscany wine. It’s powerful and delicate, sapid but fresh, with hints of grapefruit, mirabelle and elegant mineralogy.
