The Vineyard “La Calonica” is near “Le Capezzine” in the centre of a wine producing area of the very highest quality. The vineyard is on the hills of Valiano, in the Comune of Montepulciano and part in the Comune of Cortona. It is an area of great wines both red and white.
The vineyard is composed of two farms, “La Calonica” and “Capezzine Vecchie”. They are both situated on soft hills with a gentle slope, these two farms constitute the entire productive and cultural entity of about 50 hectare of which 38 are vineyard.
The vines planted in the zone of “Nobile di Montepulciano” are D.O.C.G. and those in the zone of “Cortona” a are D.O.C.
Since 1972 the vineyard has been the property of the Cattani family who personally supervise the production and sale of the wine.
The area of Valiano has special characteristic which come from the influence of Lake Trasimeno which guarantees mild winters and summers that are not too dry.
This permits the vines to have a regular vegetative cycle.
“La Calonica” is on the top of a hill about 350 m. a.s.l. The complete absence of other hills nearby gives an ideal ventilation to the vines as well as an outstanding view.
The soil is of a homogenous mixture tending towards clay, and calcareous underneath.
The vineyards are for the most part planted with ‘Sangiovese di Montepulciano’ (prugnolo gentile) and 70% of the vineyards is of this variety. The ‘Canaiolo Nero’, and some varieties with a white grape such as, ‘Sauvignon’, ‘La Malvasia del Chianti’ and ‘Il Grechetto’ complete the patrimony of the vineyard of “La Calonica”.
In recent years both on the side of Montepulciano and that of Cortona some hectares of ‘Merlot’ and ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ have been planted.
From these vines, wines of great structure and elegance have been produced suitable for a lengthy ageing. The Cortona D.O.C. of La Calonica, ‘Il Girifalco’, is composed of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as Sangiovese.
