The tufo in the soil gives the wine high acidity worthy of aging and a rare minerality that’s not found in the commercial versions. The rows of vines are supported by these stone walls called “marogne” that were built by the Romans. The Ugolini Family hired the most skilled stone masons to restore them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stone walls protect the vineyard from washing away from rain. The walls also collect heat, even in the winter, which keeps the soils healthy and in balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile they were making the San Michele single vineyard wine, they discovered that one parcel, when vinified by itself, was evolving into an extraordinary wine with super complexity and aging potential. This parcel sits on the top of the San Michele hill and is the closest parcel to the church. It contains just 8 rows of vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was an amazing discovery and completely unexpected. So they decided to make a completely separate wine called “San Michele della Chiesa,” or “St. Michael of the Church,” named after the protector of the Catholic Faith.
