The estate lies in the heart of the Chianti Rufina area, covering 626 hectares at elevations between 250 and 400 metres.The estate's soil, rich in clay and limestone, plus the dry, well-ventilated weather together compose the ideal terroir for the production of wines that are elegant, well balanced, and full bodied with firm structures to age well for many years.
