TERROIR

Our vineyard is situated 430m above sea level facing straight south. It lies at the end of a steadily climbing valley, 50 km away from the Mediterranean shoreline. The soil is rich in clay but still drains well. In the hot months it forms a hard crust on the surface, which protects the ground from excessive humidity evaporation. This provides optimum growing conditions, similar to those of Montalcino.

Moist springs followed by hot Tuscan summers make for dynamic vegetative growing conditions that are further supported by the steady winds which keep grapes dry and fungal infections low. High temperature fluctuations between day and night help the development of the grapes for maximum flavor.
