''The estate enjoys wonderful terroir as its vineyards sit between 400 and 500 meters above sea level. At this altitude there is very little chance of fog or frost.  The gentle slopes of the vineyards are exposed to the South while to the North a dense wooded area provides shelter from harsher winds. In essence, the perfect enclave. As with wines from higher altitude vineyards, the balance for aging is optimally achieved.'' John Fodera, TuscanVines (USA)

''Vineyards at 450m and from a winemaker who strikes an uncanny resemblance to American rock legend Tom Petty. With five per cent each colorino and canaiolo raised only in old barriques. Quite rich and savoury, of maritime pine, comfortable, old school, long developed with help from extended, even late harvests. So charming. This sangiovese belongs amongst the wildflowers, by a house in the woods, where “I ain’t got a neighbour for nine or ten miles, back in the tall pines.” Michael Godel
