Territory and style of the wine

The grapes come from the north-east side of the Montalcino hill, at about 300 meters above sea level, in an area that promotes regular ripening and a good expression of the fruit. The medium-textured soils, rich in clays and marine fossils, with the presence of alberese in the higher part, contribute to giving the wine structure, depth, and a well-integrated sensation of freshness. The Ridolfi Montalcino winery follows careful vineyard management, with an approach focused on sustainability and the care of the raw material.
