BeneficialWind

Podere San Cristoforo is characterized by the constant presence of breezes that blow in from the sea, keeping the grapes healthy and moderating the high summer temperatures. This "wind", then, is a fundamental factor in the optimum ripening of the grapes and in the complete development of their aromatic substances. The soil is also of vital importance: it is made up of Aeolian deposits of medium texture, originating from the foliation of the mineral-bearing hills of Gavorrano, giving a stony terrain with a highish clay content.
