About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from the Spiaggiole and Poggio Maestrino vineyards, covering 13.5 ha in the first hills inland from the Maremma coast. Facing the Argentario and Talamone promontories, the site overlooks the coast at an average elevation of 200 m. Exposure is east and west. Deep, medium-textured volcanic soil contributes structure and fruit.
