A Supertuscan of great personality and elegance. The grapes are selected in the Cagliano and Vittoria vineyards, whose soil characteristics, exposures, and microclimates are ideally suited to the varietals that make up the wine. The vineyards range from 400 to 450 meters in altitude, and the harvest takes place between mid-September and the first week of October, following a careful evaluation of the degree of ripeness of the grapes. The harvest is manual in the Cagliano vineyards, and mechanized, using machines that eliminate the green parts in the Vittoria vineyards. The primary and malolactic fermentations of the different varietals take place separately, and only later are they assembled into a single wine.

The labels of all of the wines from Borgo Scopeto show the historic heart of the estate, which belonged for centuries to a noble Sienese family, the Sozzini.

The manor and the homes of the tenant farmers grew around the elegant square keep whose walls still have the original stone skirting at their base. The north face of the keep has low arched windows, and arrow slits, while the rest of the keep was modified several times over the centuries.
