Chianti DOCG "Terre di Cresci" by Poggiotondo

Grapes for Terre di Cresci are sourced from seven hectares of vineyard area in Montefioralle, between Greve and Badia a Passignano, in the north-western area of the Chianti Classico appellation. Here, altitudes range from 350-450 and face the South West and the South East. Soils are composed of calcareous marl – this is the typical “Alberese” (locally called Colombino) with some elements of “Galestro”. Vines are trained with both Guyot and spur pruned cordon systems at a density of 5000 plants per hectare. The oldest are about 70 years old.
