About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The estate vineyards lie at 450 m above sea level in Brunello di Montalcino, on sandy limestone soils containing loose, stony material.

Grapes

The wine is made from Sangiovese Grosso, also known as Brunello.

Vinification

Fermentation takes place in wooden tanks at a controlled temperature for approximately 21–25 days.

Ageing

The wine matures for two years in 225- and 500-litre American and French oak barrels, followed by eight months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.
