The Sangiovese grapes are grown in IGT Rubicone, in Emilia Romagna, in the ‘Podere Parolino’ single vineyard, which boasts twin exposures, both north-northwest and east-southeast, offering the ideal habitat for white grapes on one side and black grapes on the other. The vines have an average age of 10 years and are trained according to the Guyot system, which facilitates balanced productivity in the vineyard. The soils are made up of softer sedimentary rocks and are clay-rich which have been extensively eroded by wind and water. The combination of clay soils and the mild climate promote ideal conditions for premium viticulture. Careful canopy management is undertaken to ensure the optimum amount of sunlight and shade, encouraging the clusters to reach optimum maturity. The vineyards are cultivated following sustainable principles.
