Lodovico wine is the product of Cabernet Franc grapes harvested in the Vigna Lodovico. The vineyard, 6 hectars nestled in the Tuscan hills, is in harmony with a unique and characteristic microclimate. The terroir reveals the geological history of Maremma: its alluvial and volcanic origins.
The presence of the sea is of great importance because it reflects sunlight, thus transmitting a quantity and quality of light that leads the grapes to a very complex phenolic maturation. Moreover, the sea ensures that summers are not too hot during the day and cool at night.
Bright, warm days ensure optimal grape maturation and cool nights ensure good acidity and the development of the fruit's aroma. This is a condition that gives freshness and elegance to the wine.
The Vigna Lodovico soil has a complex geological origin: alluvial and volcanic as well as Bolgheri conglomerate. The soil is clayey, deep and structured, with the presence of fossil fragments. Evidence of the territory's geological history.
Volcanoes in Italy are a network that connects the south, the islands and the north. The Tuscan Maremma is one of the volcanic areas. The 'secret' of volcanic soils lies in the minerality of the soil in combination with its acid part. A combination capable of restoring great balance to the wine, making it more pleasant and suitable for ageing.
