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.
The earth around the vine is turned up by hand and, in addition to ploughing in the winter, the land is ploughed at five or six other times during cultivation.

We have deliberately avoided cultivating other types of grapes such as Cabernet, Pinot Nero or Merlot because we want to distance ourselves from the worldwide trend. Some say that the aforementioned grapes reflect the current globalized taste. And what happens if one day, after an excessive production, we are bored by such grapes? Switching back to traditional grapes would take many years. And, after all, isn’t it altogether possible to make great wine from Sangiovese? Our own experience says “yes”, especially when the Sangiovese in question is Tuscan, even if the results obtained with this variety in other parts of the world have not necessarily been encouraging. For the fertilization of the land, we use exclusively organic fertilizer to which mineral salts are added if the regularly executed soil test shows that this is necessary.
The traditional "bouillie bordelaise" is used to protect the grapes.
