Territory and wine style

The Vigna Monticchio is located on the Brufa hill, about 300 meters above sea level, with a west-southwest exposure. The territory of Torgiano expresses one of its most elegant interpretations here, thanks to lake-origin soils with alternating clay and sandy components, capable of giving the wine depth, drive, and a refined profile. The 2017 vintage confirms the classic style of this Italian red wine: concentrated, harmonious, authoritative, and built to evolve over time.

The finish is long, spicy, and marked by a delicate minerality that extends its persistence.
