Producion area

Montalcino, Sant'Angelo in Colle.
Hilly lands at about 250m above sea level.

Vineyard
The soil is rich in clay and has low fertility.
Spacing: 2,40x0,90 m, 4'600 vines/ha.

Weather conditions

Mild winter with low rainfall. In February and March temperatures were above the average, anticipating the beginning of the vegetative cycle. A drastic drop in temperatures occurred in the night between April 7th and 8th. The usual late winter pruning limited the freeze
damage, which however led to a reduction of the quantity of bunches per plant. The lower production made it easier for the vines to face a dry and drought summer, avoiding excessive stress to the plant, which kept a healthy and
luxuriant leaf wall until the harvest.

Grapes
Clonal selection of Sangiovese, locally called Brunello. Manual harvest, with strong accurate selection of the best bunches, on September 24^th.

Vinification
Fermentation on the skins for 21 days at controlled temperature below 28°C in 60 and 80 hl short and wide stainless steel tanks.

Aging
A total of 4 years: 2 years in Allier oak casks of 30 and 20 hl; bottled on April 22^nd, 2024 and then refined in bottle in a temperature controlled storage room.

Color
Deep ruby red of great intensity.

Bouquet
Rich and complex. The varietal notes of the Sangiovese are enhanced in an elegant way by the tertiary aromas of the ageing.

Taste
Great structure and ripe tannins are in balance with volume and acidity. Long, clean and mineral aftertaste.
