The Citille Di Sopra farm was established in 1997 when the Innocenti family passed it on their son Fabio, who already owned part of the farm since 1992.He decided to set up the wine business alongside the farm’s decade-old core business: the cultivation of cereals.
A careful evaluation of the soil determined which vine shoots and clones of Sangiovese are best to use.
In addition rammed cord are chosen in order to take into account qualitative production values and geographic specificity. Of the more than one hundred hectares of the property, only 5,5 are currently vineyards and these are situated in the best suited area to making Brunello.
Beside the production of both wine and extra virgin olive oil, about 80 hectares of the soil are intended for the production of cereal especially the wheat for the flour, legumes and forage, for animal feed.
