Our production phylosopy is to make wines that have a sense of place, where the terroir is allowed to show itself unbiased. Since 2009 we are doing organic farming and we are following a very natural and no-intervention approach in our cellar: most of the wines are not fined or filtered, no addictives or other chemicals are added with the exception of the smallest possibile amount of solfites. For the Sangiovese based wines only medium/large oak casks are used , whilst most of the young wines are aged in stainless-steel or cement vats.
The vines of Poggio Maestrino are grafted into a ground which is rather rocky. Indeed, the precise technical definition is «siliceous clayey soils, rather gravelly, shallow and arid». They are soils with very low chalk content which must be ploughed and cleared from stones to make them suitable for vine planting. Of sandy-clayey consistency, they are rather arid and infertile which is a characteristic highly suited to vine cultivation.
