The climate here is cooler, with slopes that allow the grapes to ripen slowly and gracefully.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Product 1 (North): Floral Freshness<\/strong>\n<p class=\"p1\">A taste that whispers of <strong>fresh red fruits<\/strong>, such as cherry and raspberry, accented by notes of <strong>dried flowers and delicate spices<\/strong>. On the palate, it is defined by a <strong>vibrant acidity<\/strong> and silky texture, offering an unexpected lightness and finesse. It is a flavor of great poise that captivates with its impeccable balance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Product 2 (North): The Mineral Portrait<\/strong>\n<p class=\"p1\">More structured than the first, this offers greater depth while maintaining its innate elegance. The <strong>stony minerality<\/strong> of the soil blends with hints of <strong>dark cherry and licorice<\/strong>. Each taste is tense and pure, leaving a lingering memory of high-altitude freshness\u2014a true portrait of the mountain terroir.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Spirit of the South: Solar Power<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Moving south, the climate becomes warmer and drier-almost Mediterranean-tempered by gentle sea breezes. The soils are deeper and richer in clay, which favors a full and robust ripening of the grapes.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Product 3 (South): Enveloping Maturity<\/strong>\n<p class=\"p1\">A product that radiates the warmth of the sun. The bouquet is intense, featuring <strong>ripe black fruits<\/strong> like blackberry and plum, layered with opulent notes of <strong>sweet spices and vanilla<\/strong>. It is powerful on the palate, with a full body and vigorous yet rounded texture. A generous taste that coats the palate with its richness and structure.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Product 4 (South): Depth and Strength<\/strong>The pinnacle of intensity.\n<p class=\"p1\">This offers exceptional depth, where fruity notes blend into tertiary scents of <strong>leather and tobacco<\/strong>. Its strength and concentration are balanced by extraordinary persistence. This is a product built for the long haul\u2014a complex and meditative sensory experience.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Private room with panoramic view on the Val d&#8217;Orcia (Max 6 People)<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Tasting guided by our Sommelier with a sampling of four wines<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Charcuterie of Tuscan cold cuts as an accompaniment<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Gratuities are not included in the total<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":123884,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[],"product_tag":[],"giftcard-category":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-124571","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"first","8":"instock","9":"virtual","10":"sold-individually","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-booking"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/124571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/124571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=124571"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=124571"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=124571"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enotecadipiazza.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=124571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
