The altitudes ranging from 250 to 420 meters above sea level, the continental climate with significant temperature variations, and the ventilation contribute to preserving freshness and aromatic integrity. The soils, moderately clayey with the presence of limestone, sand, and skeleton, provide a suitable context for a Sangiovese of character, solid in structure but elegant overall.
