Cima
Cima is located above Carrara in the
Candian Hills, a magical region known for white marble caves
and delicious "lardo," a fatty cut of pork. Located
between the sea and the legendary Apuani Alps in northwestern
Tuscany, the Candian Hills are home to an extraordinary
microclimate of cool, breezy summers and mild winters. Grape
vines prosper in these benevolent conditions. The Azienda
complex includes a restaurant where one may enjoy the full
array of wines while looking out across the beautiful panorama
of hills.
Known throughout Italy for the best Vermentino, the Cima
family (literally "the top") has worked their
steep terraced vineyards entirely by hand since their
first winemaking ventures here in the 1800's. Vineyards
were replanted on the terraces in the 1970's with the
help of specialists who chose to use every square foot
of this valuable land by planting at an unusual density
of 10,000 vines per hectare.
