| Winery | The wine is made from the traditional blend of Sangiovese and the complementary varieties of Colorino, Canaiolo, and Ciliegiolo. The vineyard is situated around the village of Monti, near Siena, at 250 to 330 meters elevation, where breezes help to ventilate the vines and keep them healthy. The soils are clay loam with 15-25% clay, which retains water and minerals nourishing the vines, and limestone rock, which produces elegant wines. The vines are planted with varied aspects, predominantly facing south and east, to maximize exposure to the sun. The vineyard has been organically cultivated since 1995 and certified since 2003. No herbicides or insecticides have been used since 1985, and in 2013, the estate was approved by Delinat. |
