Territory and wine style

The Asinone selection originates in the territory of Montepulciano, in Tuscany, within the Noble Wine of Montepulciano DOCG designation. The vineyard is located about 350 meters above sea level, with a south-southwest exposure and clayey-limy soils with a presence of skeleton, elements that contribute to giving the wine balance, depth, and a well-recognizable savory texture. The manual harvest in crates and the attention in the cellar reflect a philosophy oriented towards selection, while aging in new French oak barrels adds complexity and structure without sacrificing the finesse of Sangiovese.
