The selected grapes come from the highest point of the La Ripa farm, composed of
the Querce vineyard and the Il Poggio vineyard. In these areas the exposure and the microclimate
they give great concentration and richness to the grapes.
“La Ripa represents the best selection between the two parcels. It is a deep and complex wine with intense aromas, suitable for long aging and which expresses a unique identity."
