Italy, Tuscany
Tenuta Vigne a Porrona is located in the municipality of Cinigiano in the province of Grosseto. The heart of the Maremma hinterland, between the Ombrone Valley, the Val d’Orcia and the western slopes of Monte Amiata, is characterized by soils rich in minerals, a Mediterranean-type climate and the presence of constant ventilation, characteristics that allow a perfect ripening of the grapes. Here Sangiovese is the absolute protagonist of the two appellations, Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG and Morellino di Scansano DOCG. The international grapes are used instead for the production of Baby Super Tuscans.
