About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from Teruzzi’s vineyards in San Gimignano, in the heart of Tuscany, at approximately 350 m above sea level. The soils consist mainly of yellow sandstone and clay. The continental climate is influenced by the Tyrrhenian Sea. The vines are 15 years old on average.
Grapes
The grapes are selected before vinification.

The wine remains on its lees in steel tanks for 4–5 months, followed by 3–4 months of rest in bottle.
