The three hillside locations of the Val di Suga vineyards are famous for possessing the best-suited terroirs for the highest-quality Brunello production. Each slope has different sun exposure and geologically distinct soils that lend a range of favorite tasting notes, including distinctive notes of ginger and quinine bark. An excellent pairing for game, roasted and grilled meats, and medium-aged cheeses, Val di Suga Brunello has stood the test of time as an ideal pairing for the beloved staples of regional Italian cuisine.
Val di Suga has 55 hectares of Sangiovese under vine. The terrain ranges from marl and clay to sandy limestone and creates an excellent grape-growing canvas for many of the desirable traits for which the Sangiovese grape is praised. The surrounding natural environment also has a favorable impact on the fruit. For example, the lakeside vicinity of the Vigna del Lago has a moderating effect on the vineyard’s microclimate.
