Details
Planting density: 6,250 vines/ha
Training system: Guyot
Soil: stony medium-textured soil derived from alberese-type marly limestone and clay schists (Eocene) and sandstones (Oligocene), with a medium-high skeleton content.
The area is clearly influenced by the Apennines, which bring strong day-night temperature swings, especially in summer; viticulture therefore develops in a particularly well-suited environment.
Vineyard management: Organic
Harvest: by hand in 15 kg crates
Vinification: temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for about 25 days
Ageing: about 12 months in first- and second-use French oak barriques; after bottling, the wine rests in bottle for several months before release
Serving temperature: 15-18°C
Label: artwork by Marcello Scuffi, depicting boats pulled ashore: the figurative landing of the French grapes in Carmignano

Tuscan antipasti and cured meats, pasta with meat ragù, roasted or grilled red and white meats, medium-aged cheeses.
