Winery | The grapes are sourced from the Agostino Petri vineyard in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. It sits at an altitude of 255 to 265 metres above sea level. Planted at a density of 5,600 vines per hectare, the vines are pruned according to the single Guyot method, which ensures low yields of approximately 40 hectolitres per hectare. The soils comprise a high proportion of heavy clay- approximately 30%- renowned for its cooling properties and water retention for the vine and for producing bold wines from the Sangiovese grape. The vineyard is managed sustainably. |
