In this case, the wine comes from vineyards cultivated on medium-textured soils with clay and galestro, at about 250 meters above sea level, with a southwest exposure. These conditions favor complete ripening of the grapes and help define an intense, solid, and harmonious style. The blend, composed mainly of Sangiovese with a significant presence of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, provides depth, elegance, and a complex taste structure.
