Tenuta Monteti
Results validated by Valoritalia
We work about 28 hectares of vineyard, split into four contiguous parts and with excellent south-easterly and south-westerly exposure, at an average altitude of 145m above sea level, with just 15km between us and the sea. The soil has a complex, stony structure on a clay substrate, which guarantees good drainage, maintaining freshness and humidity deep down. Monteti hill defends the vineyards from the winds that blow in from the Mediterranean, creating an ideal microclimate thanks to which the vines can benefit, protected, from the sea proximity.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Alicante-Bouschet and Merlot alternate in the vineyard, which is divided into 28 plots, a bit like a chessboard. We have a density of 6,600 vines per hectare. The spurred cordon training system is used. We devote particular care to maintaining a balanced relationship between leaf surface and bunches.
