| Winery | The vineyards producing this wine are Torrino, Colline, Poggettino, Bosco, and Leccio, which are formed of calcareous clay and parcels of sandstone and tufa. The Sangiovese and Merlot are trained on single and bilateral spurred cordon, while the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are guyot trained. Delicate work in the vineyard, such as leaf removal, crop thinning, and manual selection of bunches, ensures high-quality production and varietal typicity. |
