Medium-textured, predominantly calcareous marl breakdown of alberese and galestro strata, with abundant  gravel-pebble mixture.

Traditional Vin Santo both in its blend as well as in its method of production. The grapes are put onto cane mats to dry until December; they are then softly pressed and the must ferments slowly and refines for years in small oak barrels (caratelli).

This is where tradition combines with advanced technology. The 18th century cellars, carved out of rugged limestone, are extensive. You’ll be fascinated by the rows of red stained oak barrels and halls of vast steel vats, temperature controlled for fermentation. You’ll see teams of experts tasting, blending, balancing to produce the finest Chianti Classico. Their passion created in 1968 the first Supertuscan, our renowned Vigorello.
