Origins
ocente begins with a return, not simply to a place, but to a lineage.
For generations, the family behind the estate carried with them a respect for land, fermentation, and the quiet disciplines of craft.
Their journey stretched across continents, from European farmlands to the prairies of Western Canada, then to the cellars of Napa Valley, before guiding them back to the soil that first shaped their heritage. In the hills of Montepulciano, they found an estate of rare historical significance.
First charted in the 1600s, its original casali still stood, noble in their simplicity not relics, but enduring reminders of Tuscan culture and craftsmanship.

Rosso di Montepulciano
DOCG Toscana
The first lesson in the range: young Sangiovese from the Montepulciano hills, made to drink now while the fruit is still loud and fresh. Red cherry and wild raspberry, a snap of garden herb, soft tannins, and a clean finish.
Pairs with: tomato pasta, pizza, cured meats, roast chicken, and young pecorino.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
DOCG Toscana
The wine you come home to. Prugnolo Gentile, the local Sangiovese, given its two years to settle into the classic Nobile shape. Dark cherry and plum, violet, a little cedar and dried herb, with fine tannins and a long, savory close.
Pairs with: wild boar ragu, grilled lamb, aged pecorino, and Sunday roasts.
750ml
Toscana IGT Rosato
The exhale. A dry Tuscan rosato built for the pause in the day, pale coral and cool from the first sip. Strawberry, red currant, a little citrus and white flower, crisp and clean to finish.
Pairs with: seafood, summer salads, crostini, light pasta, and the aperitivo hour.
750ml
Toscana IGT Sauvignon
Tuscany's answer to Sauvignon, golden in the glass and lifted on the nose. Citrus and passionfruit, fresh-cut herbs and white flowers, bright acidity and a clean, mineral finish.
Pairs with: oysters and shellfish, goat cheese, grilled vegetables, and light Mediterranean plates.
