Method of cultivation...respect, selection, quality
Of the 23 hectares of vineyards, 16 have recently been planted in Cornia and Monticello using the cultivation method known as cordone speronato (the runner system), with a density of 6.950 plants per hectare. This system which envisages the passage “from quantity to quality”, with lower grape production per plant and product selection lasting practically the whole year.
