In this hilly territory, viticulture dates back to the times of the Etruscans , who between 800 and 500 BC dominated this stretch of Tuscany and mainly dedicating themselves to mining, but it is to the Middle Ages that the ruins of the castle of Doglia, called del Terriccio, take us back to. Strategically positioned on top of the hills, it had the function of being a signalling and protection tower for the people who lived in the valleys and who, upon sighting of the Saracen sails, flocked there to find refuge.

In the 1980s, during the break-up of the soil to plant the first vineyards of Lupicaia, a relic depicting the Etruscan sun was found in the ground and from that moment on it has been used as a company logo.

The Castello of Terriccio therefore has a thousand-year long history. Between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the bishop of Pisa, nephew of Pope Boniface VIII, granted the estate in emphyteusis to the Gaetani counts, in the name of the Roman Church. At the end of the eighteenth century, that branch of the Gaetani family was left without heirs and the Terriccio was bought by the Poniatowski princes, emigrated from Poland, who then owned the property until the first half of the twentieth century. The Poniatowskis transformed the fortified reality of the castle into an agricultural estate : hence the construction of the farm to organize the production of wheat, olives and grapes, the construction of the cellar and other buildings and farmhouses.
