A true excellence led by women in the heart of Tuscany: Azienda Col di Lamo stretches between the hills of Montalcino and the picturesque Val d’Orcia, in a setting of rare beauty. The vineyards, cultivated according to the principles of certified organic farming, are located in a natural amphitheater overlooking the Asso Valley, at about 300 meters above sea level, benefiting from an ideal microclimate for viticulture.

Tuscany

Tuscany is one of the most important Italian regions for wine, famous worldwide for its renowned labels. Here, wine truly has been part of history and culture for centuries, as far back as the 14th century with the establishment of the "Lega dei Vinattieri" (Wine Merchants Guild).
The Tuscan landscape also tells the story of the territory's strong winemaking vocation: from the hills of Chianti and the Etruscan Coast to the panoramas of Val d’Orcia and Val di Chiana, kilometers of splendid vineyards stretch out before our eyes, producing excellent wines.

Tuscany is one of Italy's most suitable regions for the production of quality wines and has conquered world markets since the 1980s. Bathed by the Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea, it has predominantly hilly terrain with a temperate climate, mild winters, and cool summers.
The various types of grapevines cultivated in Tuscany are greatly influenced by the soil on which they grow, ranging from sandy soils in the west to tuffaceous soils, and even clayey and calcareous soils.
A special mention goes to "galestro," a type of local soil that also gives its name to a wine from the Chianti area.

Montalcino

Montalcino is an area covering 24,000 hectares, of which only 15% is occupied by vineyards. The hill of Montalcino has numerous pedological environments due to its formation over different geological eras.

The soil becomes richer in skeleton while the active layer reduces, as these soils are formed from the decomposition of original rocks. The climate is typically Mediterranean, generally dry, but also with continental characteristics due to its intermediate position between the sea and the Central Apennines.

The presence of slopes with different orientations, the marked modulation of the hills, and the difference in altitude between valley areas and the higher territory create very different microclimatic environments, even in areas very close to each other. The most common training system in the vineyard is the spurred cordon, obtained through short pruning of a variable number of spurs.
Montalcino offers a unique pedological variety, bearing witness to different geological eras.
