Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from a preselection of Tua Rita's younger vineyards in Alta Maremma, within the Metalliferous Hills. The soils are clay-rich with a medium-to-high proportion of stones and contain abundant minerals and pink marble, a basic rock occurring in the estate's soils.
Planting density ranges from 6,000 to 9,000 vines per hectare. The vines are trained using spurred cordon and Guyot systems and managed under integrated pest-management principles. Harvest takes place by hand into 15 kg crates during the second and third weeks of September.
