I Tirreni

I TIRRENI is an illustration of what happens when two passionate wine geeks discover they share the perfect synergy to create beautiful things! I TIRRENI was officially established in 2015, but it is the culmination of years of study and hard work, put in by Samuele Falciani (agronomist) and Tommaso Rindi (enologist). Eager to embark on an entrepreneurial path, they chose to settle in one of the most beautiful areas of Italy: Bolgheri and the upper Maremma.

“I Tirreni” is a Greek word used to describe the people living by the Coast: the Etruscans. Etruscans were capable sailors and pirates, but also regarded as expert wine producers and merchants.

Samuele Falciani has always had a strong passion for agriculture and it was evident from his focus on agricultural engineering as a teenager. Subsequent university studies involved Agriculture, Biology and culminated in a PhD in Engineering. It was during his doctoral studies that he began to focus more on the intricacy of vines and wines. His evolutionary path took him from his home in Buenos Aires to expositions around the world where he was presenting some of his work. This led, ultimately, to Italy where he eventually worked 8 years as a cellar manager in one of the biggest wineries in Tuscany.

During this same period, Tommaso Rindi was completing his studies, leading to a degree in Enology and Winemaking from Florence University. Tommaso Rindi has always been fascinated by the wine world. After graduating, he furthered his education and worked in France at prestigious institutions in Montpellier and Bordeaux, studying diverse topics such as plant genetics, microbiology and winemaking procedures.

Eventually, his work brought him back to Tuscany, where, while working at a prestigious Tuscan estate, he was able to collaborate with winemaker and enologist Paolo Vagaggini, who has worked with some of the most famous Tuscan estates.

In 2015 I Tirreni was born!
