About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from terraced hillside vineyards in Ruffoli, Greve in Chianti, at an average elevation of 450 m above sea level. The sites face west and southwest. Their sandy-silty soils contain a particularly high proportion of stones. The vines are more than 20 years old and are trained using Guyot and spurred-cordon systems. Vittorio Fiore and his sons cultivate the vineyards.
