Production area:
Montalcino - Siena - Locality Sant'Angelo in Colle. Hilly lands enjoying a favourable southern position, giving a wonderful sunny exposure all day long. Average height: 300 m above sea level.

Fermentation on the skins for 18-20 days at controlled temperature below 30° C in wide steel tanks (150 hl), in order to obtain maximum and delicate tannin and colour extraction.

Main Features

Deep ruby red with yet youthful hints.
