The crown jewel of the estate is the I Sodi di San Niccolò vineyard, a natural amphitheater with southwest exposure that facilitates optimal sun ripening. This "experimental" vineyard is the result of a prestigious collaboration with the Universities of Milan and Florence, focused on identifying the finest clones of Sangioveto and Malvasia Nera. The name "Sodi" reflects the "hard" or "stiff" soil characteristic of the region; this stony, low-organic terrain naturally limits yields but forces the vines to produce grapes of extraordinary concentration. With a soil mix rich in "skeleton" and excellent drainage, the vineyard produces fruit with an exceptionally high percentage of polyphenols, forming the foundation for a wine of global standing.
