Terroir: The Pian delle Vigne vineyards are located at about 130 meters above sea level on soils rich in clay and limestone, which give the wine a distinctive minerality. The south-west exposure and the climatic conditions of the area favor a slow and uniform ripening of the grapes, ensuring complex and long-lived wines.

Vinification: The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a long maceration on the skins to extract the maximum aromatic and tannic characteristics. This is followed by aging in large oak barrels for at least two years, as required by the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG regulations, and a further period of bottle aging before release.
