Vineyards
Grown on hillside vineyards in the southern part of Tuscany. The soil is calcareous and well-drained.
Winemaking
Grape maceration for 7 - 8 days in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 75˚-77˚F. After a malolactic fermentation, the wine ages in French oak barrels for approximately 2 months.

Additional Notes
The name Collepino translates to "hill of pine" which reflects the umbrella pine trees that surround the farmhouse on the vineyard property.
