Territory and wine style

The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG originates from the hills between Sant’Angelo in Colle and Sant’Antimo, an area that gives Sangiovese balance, tension, and finesse. Prètto comes from the same vineyards as Brunello Giodo and is born from manual selections made in several passes, with a production philosophy focused on fruit quality and stylistic definition. Aging in tonneaux and the subsequent transfer to concrete and bottle contribute to giving the wine harmony, integration, and a more ready texture, without sacrificing the complexity typical of the denomination.
