CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRODUCTION TERRITORY

ORIGIN

Vineyards owned by Fattoria I Collazzi, located in the most south-western part of the municipality of Impruneta (Florence), near the town of Galluzzo.

SOIL TYPE

Clayey-calcareous, partly sandy, very rich in skeleton.

AVERAGE VINEYARD AGE

25 years old

CLIMATE TREND

Microclimate normally warmer and drier than the surrounding areas. Part of the property lies in a natural amphitheater, with perfect South-West exposure.

The abundant sunshine and averagely mild daytime temperatures allow a prolonged and complete ripening of the grapes, homogeneous from year to year.
