All the operations are carried out with rigorous organic methods, certified by the EU.

The 19.6 hectares of vineyard (set at an altitude ranging from 150 m and 250 m asl) are almost entirely registered as Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG (19.2 ha) and ensure an average yield of 8.5 tons of grapes per hectare. Yearly production is around 100,000 bottles of wine but this could be further increased by buying the neighboring vineyards which would boost production up to 120,000 bottles per year.
