100% Sangiovese grapes. In the finest growing years, we blend a selection of the best fruit from our various Chianti Classico vineyards, which yields a harmonious union of Sangiovese from the terroirs within each individual vineyard. The vineyards are located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the southeastern part of the Chianti Classico appellation, slightly to the northeast of Siena. Almost exclusively with a southwestern exposure, they sprawl across ventilated slopes at an altitude ranging from 320 to 420 meters above sea level. Geologically, the terrains are mixed: in the higher parts the soil is predominantly rock quartz and calcareous alberese mixed with alluvial pebbles and layers of sandstone and loam characterise the vineyards on the edge of the Colli Senesi in the direction of the Crete Senesi. First vintage 1967.
