Poggio Graffetta Hyspa

The area’s warm, dry and windy climate, together with temperatures mitigated by its proximity to the sea, also make it a natural habitat for international varie ties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Petit Verdot. The area’s exposure to the sun guarantees long, complex maturation that gives the wine an excellent structure and extraction.
