Territory and wine style

The grapes come from vineyards located about 400 meters above sea level, in a context that helps preserve freshness and balance. The soil, described as a mix of sea sand and various minerals, contributes to outlining a recognizable territorial profile, where Sangiovese expresses itself in an elegant and savory key. The vinification in steel and aging in 25 quintal oak barrels for 39 months suggest a respectful approach to the fruit, with wood present but not intrusive, thus enhancing the typicity of the location and the natural identity of Brunello di Montalcino.

Tasting notes

On the palate, it is relaxed, fragrant, and persistent, with a sip that favors finesse and precision rather than power. The long aging contributes to making it more harmonious, maintaining the vitality of the Sangiovese.
