Of the estate’s 142 hectares, just 28 are under vine, all devoted to Sangiovese – the variety that most deeply expresses this land. The rows are trained using the spurred cordon system and kept to very low yields, to preserve the purity and quality of the fruit. Each vineyard is organically farmed and shaped by the singular microclimate of Monte Amiata, the extinct volcano that rises to 1,738 meters and watches over the landscape. Read more
