The south-southwest exposure and the altitude of 200 meters favor complete ripening of the grapes, while the clayey schist soil contributes to giving depth, tension, and character to the wine's profile. Ghiaie della Furba is born from a selection of international grape varieties well integrated into the Tuscan context and stands out for its rich, intense, and harmonious style, with a solid spicy component and significant structure supported by good freshness.
