THE VINEYARDS: “quality is our primary objective”

The plots of land with vines can be found at an altitude from 400 to 450 metres above sea level, facing south, southeast and are formed in the main part by new plantation with variable densities between 3400 and 6800 vines per hectare.

The vineyards are grown organically and the type of plant growths chosen are "guyot " and "cordone speronato" (method of pruning the vine).

As the vineyards are considered the main part of the production, particular attention is paid at its maintenance, carrying out pruning and green grape picking (harvesting).

The production is based on low yield and the harvesting of the grapes is done manually to allow a scrupulous selection of the fruit.

The whole cultivation process follows an objective that is to obtain a product of the highest quality which expresses with personality the characteristics of its land.

About 80% of the vineyards are made up of selected cloned Sangiovese.

The other vines of red berries, are mainly represented by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a little bit of Canaiolo and Syrah.

In particular the selection of white berry vines, apart from the Malvasia and Chardonnay, also present Sauvignon blanc, the Viognier and the Gewurztraminer, varieties considered very rare for the area.
