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.
Tasting Notes

Food Pairing
Delightful with everything from appetizers to panninis, pizza, pasta, chicken, burgers and spicy cheeses.
Additional Notes
The name Collepino translates to "hill of pine" which reflects the umbrella pine trees that surround the farmhouse on the vineyard property.
