VINEYARD NOTES
Fattoria Sardi is nestled in the northwestern part of Tuscany, near the historic city of Lucca. The estate benefits from a unique microclimate influenced by its proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, which provides ample sunshine and ventilation, while the inland mountains offer abundant water resources and cool nights. This combination creates an ideal environment for viticulture, allowing the grapes to develop optimal ripeness while retaining essential acidity. The vineyards are cultivated organically and incorporate biodynamic practices, including preparations like 500 (for soil health) and 501 (for optimal fruiting), reflecting the estate's commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly farming methods.
