Terroir
Siepi vineyard (Castellina in Chianti): 260 m (850 ft) a.s.l.; S-SW exposure. Soil: mainly Alberese.
The vineyard is set in the midst of dense oak woods; constant westerly breezes prevent hot extremes and create a mild, almost-Mediterranean temperature. The rocky-textured soils of alberese marl, limestone, and Pliocene clays lie atop the bedrock. The Siepi vineyard has been tended organically since 2006.
