Territory and wine style

The area of origin is Montalcino, particularly the region of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, on the southeast side, overlooking the Orcia valley. Here, the Brunello di Montalcino finds a vocated context, characterized by poor and rocky soils, with the presence of clay and limestone, elements that help define a vertical, savory profile with great identity.

On the palate, the wine is soft, yet supported by fine and well-integrated tannins, with a mineral and savory texture that accompanies the sip to a long and persistent finish. The overall impression is elegant, deep, and well-constructed, with an important structure that is never excessive.
