The Mediterranean climate is tempered by cool sea breezes, encouraging a slow ripening that preserves the grapes' natural freshness. The vineyards, managed according to organic farming principles, take root in an extraordinarily varied terroir. In specific areas, alluvial stony soils, marine sands, limestone and clay alternate, ensuring the vines optimal water balance and a complex structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter careful manual selection of the bunches, the different varieties are vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with a long maceration on the skins essential for extracting colour and structure. Subsequently, malolactic fermentation occurs directly in wood. The process is completed with a slow maturation in French oak barrels for eighteen months, followed by a further period of bottle ageing that gives the wine its final elegance and excellent longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Bolgheri from the Piccin family's passion for Bordeaux grape varieties, \u003cstrong\u003ePodere Sapaio\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the excellence of the Tuscan region through a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable vision\u003c\/strong\u003e.
