USIGLIAN DEL VESCOVO WINERY

Today Usiglian del Vescovo covers an area of around 160 hectares, 25 of which consist of vineyards containing Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon, Syrah, Petit verdot, Chardonnay and Viognier vines, as well as 15 hectares of olive-groves. The unique soil and proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea make this an optimum vine growing environment. Here the vines enjoy special conditions which give our wines their uniqueness, exceptionally rich flavor and fresh taste. Situated in the center of the Estate is the Villa of Usigliano, the main residence which, in times past, was the main reference point for the collection of farms and castles dotted throughout the property and after which the vineyards have been named.

The malolactic fermentation takes place in concrete tanks.
