Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from estate vineyards on the south-eastern and south-western sides of Montalcino, at 250–400 m above sea level. The soils are sandy loam with clay and plentiful stone; the south-eastern sites are also described as containing limestone plates and abundant heavy stones. The vines are trained to spurred cordon.
