“Camponibbio” is a Vineyard located in the southern part of our Vino Nobile estate, just outside the town of Chianciano Terme, Siena. This vineyard is subdivided into various plots, each with its own grape varietal, clone and rootstock that best match the varying soil types. During each harvest we select the fruit from the best performing vineyard plots, given the weather conditions of that vintage. The grape composition of each vintage, therefore, is made of varying percentages of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
