The organic oil and wine producing company was started in 1988 in Pienza, Tuscany, where Thomas Wulf planted his first vineyard with Manzoni bianco and Sangiovese grapes with the organic control operator number 091.
From 2002 he moved to Vetralla where, in his company winecellars, continued to make wine from the grapes of the original farm in Tuscany with those of Vetralla.
Today Villa Chiarini Wulf extends to an area of 11 hectares of which 5 are vineyards. While in the remaining part there are 350 century old olive trees mainly of the Canino type, the famous native variety of Tuscia.
The Vineyards, planted mainly in Volcanic soil and with a temperate climate (250m asl) were started thanks to the intuition of the owners Thomas and Valentina Chiarini Wulf who believed in the potential of this land that is perfectly suited for growingnot only Olives but also the highly prizedwine grapes. Manzoni bianco, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have found a great home here.Through careful organic cultivation, the consequent reduction in yield and the transformation that occurs without “manipulation” in the cellar, these wines from healthy grapes are products of high quality and strong local character. They display all the different influences of the different vintages, the qualities of the soil and the craftsmanship in the vineyard and the cellar that makes them elegant and well- balanced.

The grand old Olive Trees are treated with the same care. The Olives, picked early and taken to the mill are processed the same day resulting in healthy oil that is a delight to the senses.
The company is always worked personally and with great passion and, although it is “a tiny speck of sand” that cannot change the state of things, however, hopes at least to leave a small trace.
Thus we offer a humble tribute to genius loci, in the hope of preventing or at least slowing it’s escape from our lands. In this spirit we have created the winery and apartments dedicated to rural tourism.

An unknown surface, heed we to forelearn
The winds and varying temper of the sky,
The lineal tilth and habits of the spot,
What every region yields, and what denies.
Here blithelier springs the corn, and here the grape,
There earth is green with tender growth of trees
And grass unbidden.
Virgil – Georgics I 53
