The story
The estate was established as an independent project after the acquisition of the eponymous vineyard from the Castello di Ama area. Following expansion, the Adine and Vertine vineyards were integrated, consolidating the estate's identity as focused on high-quality parcels.
Production philosophy
Small-scale, terroir-driven production: single-vineyard / single-parcel wines that aim to reflect the soil, altitude and exposure. The declared agronomic approach emphasizes organic farming and the enhancement of the Sangiovese and Merlot grapes.
