The winery Azienda Agricola Marco Cincinelli is located in Capolona, in the Chianti Colli Aretini area, a few kilometers north of Arezzo. Climbing up from the Tuscan city toward Casentino Valley, in the hills between the villages of Bibbiano, Botti and Cenina, at an altitude ranging from 200 to 350 meters, opens the wonderful natural amphitheatre in which the lands of the winery extend. Far from all urban and industrial settlements, the Azienda Cincinelli cultivates its own lands: the winery properties extend for about 50 hectares, of which 45 are vineyards and 4 are olive groves alternating with plots intended for planting and wooded areas.

Winemaking

Unlike our other Mammolo-based wines, the vineyards suitable for the production of Il Santo are located at an altitude of 400mt. It comes from a single vineyard with clay and limestone soil. Fermentation in steel and ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels.
