The story
The property is located in the southeast of Montalcino and, according to the official website, is set on an estate that overlooks the surrounding valley. The producer’s public description emphasizes the importance of the location and the differing ages of the vineyards in defining the style of the wines; the website does not state an explicit founding date.
Production philosophy
Production focused on expressing the terroir: high-altitude vineyard care, careful grape selection and extended aging of Brunello in Slavonian oak barrels to showcase the structure, acidity and longevity typical of Sangiovese di Montalcino.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate sits on a natural terrace at 480 metres above sea level on the hills southeast of Montalcino; the soil is described as predominantly galestro, with clay and limestone, which, together with the diurnal temperature range, influence the ripening and the aromatic profile of the grapes.
Awards and recognition
Numerous notable scores for the Brunello di Montalcino. The winery also reports awards and recognitions such as a Platinum at the Merano WineFestival and international medals/awards for recent vintages.
