Geographical Production Area

The wine is produced in the upper Arno River Valley in Tuscany, hence the name 'di Sopra'. The terroir is characterized by a diverse soil composition and a unique microclimate, with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. The vineyards are situated at an average altitude of 300 meters above sea level, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The specific characteristics of the area contribute to the unique taste and aroma of the Val d'Arno di Sopra DOC wine.
