Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino wine production area is limited exclusively to the town of Montalcino, which is located about 40 km south of Siena.

The area and soil profiles of Montalcino were formed over a number of geological eras. The area is characterised by a soil composed of clay and shale along with extended limestone areas.

There is a typically Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot summers.

The average hill level can often experience a lot of breeze, which guarantees optimal conditions for the healthy growth of the plants.

The wine estate is located in the south-eastern part of Montalcino area, on hilly, medium texture, slightly clayey soil.

The microclimate is characterised by cold winters, hot summers, which can sometimes be fairly dry, with excellent ventilation and daily temperature changes.

At Montalcino there are 4.5 hectares of vineyards that produce Brunello di Montalcino and 1.5 hectares dedicated to the production of Rosso di Montalcino.

All the vineyards have been planted exclusively with the Sangiovese Grosso grape variety.

The vineyards have a density of 4,500 vines per hectare and are unilaterally cordon-pruned; they are located at an altitude of 400 meters, with a south-west exposure.

During the harvest, the grapes are carefully and expertly selected by hand.
Stainless steel tanks are used for the winemaking process, which are equipped with the necessary features that ensure a highly technological production process.

The destemming and soft pressing procedures preserve the organoleptic characteristics of the selected grapes, which are then vinified at temperatures ranging between 27° and 30°, with a stay on the skins of 10-12 days in order to extract the finest perfumes and aromas.

The wines are aged in a cellar, using oak barrels and a rotation of French oak barriques.

Montalcino wines then have to age for a further period in the bottle until they reach their full elegance, after which they are placed on the market.
