The land extends over an area of approximately 8 hectares, with one hectare of olive groves and 6 hectares of vineyards. The main grape grown is Sangiovese, accompanied by other vine species such as Colorino di Toscana, Malvasia Nera and a small amount of merlot used for our IGT wine, “Il Granaio”.
Our main goal is originality, localisation and strong product identity.
For this reason, having first studied the climate and land of the company, we chose the vine species which seemed to be most suitable, which allowed us to get the very best out of the territory and which boast high viticultural potential. In the end we opted for indigenous vines such as Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera and Colorino di Toscana.
Despite being more difficult to manage, we preferred late-harvest vines since their slow ripening increases aromatic and polyphenol content, thus intensifying the fruit’s original characteristics.
Our territory is quite cool, which guarantees wines with excellent acidity and fresh tannins.
Harvesting time is therefore crucial in order to achieve this aim and so grape picking is organised whenever the grapes are deemed to be at just the right stage of maturation.
Picking is to this day carried out manually and using cases in order to best preserve the grapes until their arrival at the winery.
The average altitude is 330 m above sea level.
The training system is spurred cordon and Guyot.
We have had agronomist Remigio Bordini as our consultant since 1998.
