About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Selected Sangiovese grapes come from the estate’s best vines at Castelnuovo dell’Abate. Their southern exposure, steep slope and soil rich in skeletal material promote a high concentration of polyphenols, expressed through deeper colour and a firmer, more complex tannic structure.
