About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Mandriolo Rosso comes from the Poggetti Estate at Massa Marittima. The south-west-facing vineyards stand on slightly acidic clay soils rich in fossils. The estate lies among the Metalliferous Hills about 7 km from the Tyrrhenian Sea, with warm days, sustained sunshine and cool evenings during the growing season. Its soils are also characterized as dynamic and mineral-rich.
