Roberto Mannucci is assisted by his wife, Maria Grazia Mammuccini and nephews Andrea and Matteo Mammuccini.The estate is divided into two main parts. The first is the Campolucci property (Latin for field of the holy wood), this is the location of the winery and cellars. Along with cultivated land and woods, this property has been owned by the family since 1929.
