The Vineyards
The estate’s 100 hectares (247 acres) of vineyards are on the slopes of a spur of tuffaceous rock where the hilltop town of Sovana is located, surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape of remarkable archeological importance. Flat terrain of volcanic origin with tuffaceous subsoils are at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level (656 feet). Aleatico, a very old and traditional grape variety, and Malbèc, a new variety for the Italian wine producing sector, have found an ideal terroir.
