About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines grow around a 16th-century farmhouse in Colle di Val d’Elsa, Tuscany, at 220 metres above sea level. The soil is clay rich in fossils. Vines, animals, vegetables, fruit and nuts form an interconnected ecosystem. An afternoon sea breeze cools and refreshes the soil, contributing saline and mineral character to the grapes.

Grapes

The grapes are selected before vinification.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand at optimal ripeness, gently pressed and macerated for four months. The wine is bottled without added sulphites at the end of April in the year after harvest.

Tasting profile

Saline and mineral in character.
