Estate vineyards on the southern hills of Montalcino. The grapes are grown in stony, calcareous and well-structured soil at an altitude of 720 feet above sea level.

A meticulous grape selection is followed by vinification with skin contact for 10-12 days. Released in the 5th year after harvest, the wine is aged for a minimum of 4 years, including 2 years in oak barrels of various sizes, mainly French oak barriques and partly in Slavonian oak casks.

Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. Ethereal bouquet, violet, vanilla with hints of licorice. Full, soft, velvety, with traces of spice.

Food Pairing: Perfect with red meats, wild game and aged cheeses.
