Frascole, a border area. A few steps away, between the vineyards or in the small town, the view suddenly changes. Now you look at Mugello, now at Valdisieve, with your gaze towards those distant hills that enclose Florence. Important archaeological finds attest to the cultivation of vines on this soil as early as the time of the Etruscans.
We are between 300 and 500 meters, where the climatic characteristics of the Chianti Rufina area are extreme. Here artisan wines are born, followed by the vineyard and the winery by the bottle.

What we mean by organic viticulture
Organic fertilizers are used
as compost, manure and
other natural materials to enrich the soil and provide the nutrients necessary for the growth of vines.
Techniques are implemented to prevent soil erosion, such as planting vegetative covers between the rows of vines and applying minimal or no tillage practices.
During the winemaking process, chemical additives are avoided and the handling of the wine is minimized. The use of natural yeasts and the reduction of sulfites are encouraged.
