Vineyard

The vineyards are in the Alta Maremma, lying approximately 1,000 feet above sea level, and are characterized by soils that are very rich in tufo, a particular type of volcanic rock. The Mediterranean Sea, lying just 15 miles away, prevents any drastic temperature variations and provides a warm, stable microclimate for the vines. The Tommasi family has replanted the area with selected clones of both indigenous and international grape varieties.

Vinification

The wine sees a 10-day fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a 12 month maturation period in 65 Hl Slavonian oak casks.

Wine

This blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a singlevineyard site called Rompicollo, which benefits from a Southern exposure, ample sunlight, and a volcanic soil rich in tufo rock. The vines here are densely planted (2,630 vines per acre) in order to yield the best quality fruit.
