Terroir: The Sangiovese Grosso vines are grown on the hilly terrain of Montalcino, at an altitude that promotes ventilation and balanced ripening of the grapes. The limestone and clay-rich soils give the wine a distinct minerality, making it structured and suited for long aging. The climate, with hot, dry summers and cool nights, allows for slow ripening, which helps develop the complex aromatic characteristics of Brunello.

Vinification: Manual harvest followed by temperature-controlled fermentation, with long maceration on the skins to maximize extraction and structure. Subsequently, the wine is aged in large oak barrels for at least two years, followed by another 12 months of bottle aging to enhance its elegance and complexity.
