Vigneto

The 2 hectare vineyard is located at the height of 200mt. absl. in a hilly area with very favourable exposure, inside the DOC (certified as first-class product) area and have an average density of 5,000 vines/ha. The average temperature of the site is around 15°C with quite frequent rains in spring and rare in summer, during the maturity period of the grapes.

The production islimited to the progress of the vintage and the harvest by hand is completed only after the full maturity with the selection of the best bunches.
The plants are raised with notoriously "qualitative" guyot pruning and spurred cordon systems.

The average production per plant is very low (always less than one Kg/plant).

  • Pietra Dura (Montepulciano and Shiraz)
  • Rocca Monaldeschi(Montepulciano and Shiraz)
  • Uve di Marte(Montepulciano white-winefermented)
