Over the years, the vines spread to cover over 100 hectares. The turning point came in the ‘90s: wine quality improved and it became fuller-bodied. Making it an excellent local product became a challenge for the residents. New vines – mainly Montepirolo, with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc – were grafted, the Sangiovese vines were re-grafted and density was increased to 6,600 vines per hectare.
