Terra di Confine is produced in the northernmost vineyards, where the medium-textured clayey-sandy soil, altitude, exposure and microclimate give the harmonious variety structure and complexity, enhancing the softness and elegance of the tannins, while the raisining part, the result of research that found its reason in the 2013 vintage, gives a well-balanced sweetness, revealing intense hints of ripe red fruit on the nose. Terra di Confine has an intense ruby red colour, with slight violet hues. The nose is complex, with notes of cherry jam, small berries, nutmeg and cinnamon. In the mouth it is rich, persistent, caressing, with dense and soft tannins. A wine of great depth, destined for ageing.
Terra di confine, the name by which the ancestors of the Maravalle family called the wine of the estate they produced in the Etruscan cave that became a cellar in the 19th century, indicates the peculiar characteristic of the Ficulle area, where in addition to the geographical position on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, once the heart of eastern Etruria, the calcareous-clayey soil of sedimentary origin marks the difference with the volcanic soil of the Orvieto area.
