Vineyard and terroir
The 2021 grapes came from Central Tuscany, from south-east-facing vineyards at 250 m above sea level. The Sangiovese vines were 20–30 years old, trained to spurred cordon, with a yield of 90 quintals per hectare. Estate harvesting and selection are manual: grapes are selected in the vineyard and again berry by berry on a conveyor belt.
