The varieties cultivated are mainly Sangiovese, but also Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malvasia, Colorino, etc. For Sangiovese in particular, we have spent a long time researching Masaru selection and clone selection. Currently, we cultivate 36 different biotypes. In addition, each field has a different microclimate, and we cultivate grapes and make wine that take advantage of the characteristics of each field. The result is unique wines characterized by variety and complexity.

The winery’s logo is based on a polyhedron drawn by Tuscan genius Leonardo da Vinci, which symbolizes the shape of the land and the winery’s future prospects It is becoming a symptom. The total area owned is 80ha, of which 34ha is used for grape cultivation. We grow international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, as well as Tuscan varieties such as Sangiovese and Vermentino, taking advantage of our proximity to the coast, the oceanic climate, and soil rich in limestone and sandstone. The altitude of the vineyard is relatively low at 100-180m, and
5,500-6,500 vines are planted per hectare. This varied combination of soil and climate allows for the cultivation of completely different grapes, resulting in highly elegant and aromatic wines with high complexity and concentration.

southeastern Sicily, in the land said to be the birthplace of Nero d’Avola. They own 50ha of land and grow Sicilian grapes such as Nero d’Avola, Grillo and Cataratto on 24ha. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 90-130 meters above sea level, in a perfect location surrounded by magnificent natural surroundings, adorned with olive, almond and fruit trees. Grapes are planted at a high planting density of 5,500 vines per hectare, using the traditional Sicilian Alberello style. The climate is typically Mediterranean, with mild winters and hot, dry summers, tempered by the cool currents of the Ionian Sea. The soil is rich in limestone. A small but efficient wine cellar with temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for brewing and around 350 oak barrels for aging the wine creates a wine cellar with complexity, delicacy, precise texture and elegance.
