Description
Avvoltore is the company’s flagship wine. The grapes are collected from vineyards planted on the “Poggio dell’Avvoltore” hill. Its clay-limestone soil produces a strong and powerful tannic structure. The first vintage was in 1988, the blend has changed very little since then and, in recent years, has always featured these grapes: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The name describes the Maremma Falcon, a bird of prey that often flies over these vineyards.
