The Estate combines 60 ha of which 34 ha of vineyards planted with an high density of vines per hectare( 5.200 the new vineyards )in order to lower the quantity of fruit per vine and consequently improve the grape and wine quality. The vineyards are managed with the spur pruning training system.
The winery decided to move to a more natural way of managing the vineyards and the cellar , reducing the use of chemicals to respect the environment. Tuscan land with rolling hills, moulded from a clayey soil rich of rock fragments which give elegance and complexity to the wines
The winery a simple structure, where the traditional winemaking is respected, ensuring product quality. The aging is in part in vitrified cement tanks and in part in oak barrels and barriques .
