About 90% of all vines planted are Sangiovese grapes. The remaining 10% includes Colorino and Canaiolo grapes. The density amounts to 5,000 vines per hectare in the vineyards planted since 1997, and to 3,200 vines per hectare for older vineyards.
In the older vineyards, the vine is pruned using the Guyot procedure, and in the newer vineyards the cordon technique is used.
In 2009 vintage we started a biological conduction of our vineyards.
In all our history we never planted alternative grape varieties from our traditional Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. Our policy is to produce a wine representing the real identity of our land.
