Montalcino - Siena - Sant'Angelo in Colle. Hilly lands enjoying a favourable southern exposition.
Vineyard:
Poggio al Vento. Average height: 350 m above sea level. Planted in 1974.
Weather conditions:
Vintage characterized by the rough frost of April 16th, which drastically reduced quantities luckily to the advantage of quality. A wave of heat on the last week of July and the first of August considerably anticipated harvest.

Vinification:
Fermentation at controlled temperature below 30°C. 25 days of maceration in wide and short stainless steel tanks (greater contact between skins and must with a better polyphenolic extraction), daily punching down in the morning and pumping over in the evening.
Ageing:
4 years in Slavonian and French oak casks, followed by over 2 years of refinement in bottle, all of this in a conditioned environment.
