The selected grapes come from the highest point of the La Ripa estate, comprising the Querce and Il Poggio vineyards. The exposure and microclimate in these areas give the grapes great concentration and richness.

"La Ripa represents the finest selection of the two parcels. It is a deep and complex wine with intense aromas, suitable for long aging, and expresses a unique identity."
