Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• The territory is hilly and sub-hilly (piedmont), an orographic characteristic that defines the relief over which the production zone extends.
• The climate is described as mild yet sufficiently rainy and breezy, with a good daily temperature range that characterises the zone.
• The production zone encompasses the entire territory of seven communes in the province of Grosseto, among them Cinigiano, Castel del Piano, Arcidosso, and Seggiano. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• Viticulture in the Montecucco territory dates back at least to the Etruscan period, as attested by finds uncovered in the areas of Seggiano and Potentino.
• The vine is trained using Guyot and spur-trained cordon systems, with high planting densities adopted in the vineyards of the zone.

• The traditional varieties present, such as Sangiovese, Trebbiano toscano, Ciliegiolo, Vermentino, Malvasia bianca, and Grechetto, are capable of expressing a strong character in the wines, which are fresh and aromatic, with good structure.
