WINE-MAKING AND REFINEMENT

its intensity, persistence and structure.

 

ORIGIN

TERROIR

The winery is located in Scansano, the homeland of Morellino. The soils are varied and wide, in the western side there are sandstone soils of a boulder or stone type, while in the eastern part, in correspondence with the limestone and clayey formations, they appears more articulated.

The soils are generally not very deep, with a rocky substratum that emerges in various cases, but in any case it allows the production of wines recognized within the national and international panorama.

WINERY

The company is led with passion and dedication by the Bargagli family, which for three generations has been producing particularly interesting and expressive wines, enhancing the characteristics of the territory and grape variety, starting from the excellent quality of their grapes. The vineyards extend over about 30 hectares, mainly cultivated with Sangiovese and Tuscan Trebbiano, notoriously among the most widespread and appreciated in these areas particularly suited to viticulture.
