Fabrizio carries on this winegrowing tradition, mainly cultivating native grape varieties grown with meticulous farming practices. At just the right degree of ripeness, the grapes are harvested by hand and also hand-selected. It is a red wine made from Sangiovese grapes grown on the Tuscan hills, 7 km from Montespertoli and 10 km from San Casciano in Val di Pesa, in the area known as "Vigna della Querce", the oldest vineyard still in production, and partly in the "Ingannamatti" vineyards.
