Producer profile:
Strategically located in the heart of the Caggiole area, kissed by the wind and with perfect radiation and providential temperature ranges, the Macchione is an ideal place for quality viticulture. The vineyards are located on the top of a hill, all around the farm. The soil is loamy-clayey, with silty-sandy areas and a significant presence of stones. TIME – this word would be enough to define their style: wines that must be awaited and respected. Slow but authentic, they are recognizable, identifying, expressed in the exclusive sign of Sangiovese.
