The uniqueness of Montefoscoli’s terroir is the subject of our daily study, and we have the burden and honor of telling its story. According to our vision, what gives wine its inestimable value is not only its taste, but the uniqueness and unrepeatable nature of the context in which it is born. What distinguishes Montefoscoli is the place, the people who have always cultivated it, and its soils.
The soils belong mostly to the Pliocene formation of Villamagna. Their origin is marine, from granular disintegration of limestone and sands, which alternate with more clayey layers. This formation, widespread in the Pisan hills, finds in this area a greater calcareous component in the form of skeleton and disaggregated material.
The subsoil conceals layers of an ancient marine seabed that has transformed into the heart of our terroir: the blue marls. They alternate with gypsum layers and white marls, thus providing the roots with a changeable and difficult-to-explore terrain, which radically changes structure based on the time of year.
