The Santa Margherita vineyard is the oldest cru on the estate, home to approximately 50-year-old vines,
the mothers of all the other Vernaccia vines subsequently planted on the estate.
This is our signature wine, complex and strongly territorial.
The old vines are the true secret of this wine, thanks to the intimate bond that
has been created over the decades between the vineyard and the environment. This profound connection is evident
in the richness of the material, a structure capable of withstanding a period in
wood, which further defines its natural elegance. Low yields
allow only a limited production.

SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS
Bright gold color, anticipating a full-bodied and substantial palate, supported by
a significant and well-integrated acidity. On the nose, the bouquet is intense and complex
with nuances of magnolia and hawthorn, grapefruit and pineapple, spicy notes
and the characteristic mineral notes that enhance with age.
