About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from vineyards at elevations of 150–450 m.

Vinification

Leopoldo Franceschi personally selects the Rosso di Montalcino barrels used for the wine. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats at 25–28 °C, with regular punch-downs.

Ageing

The wine matures for one year in large French oak casks and barriques, followed by further ageing in bottle.

Label / history

Production is very limited.
