Grapes are hand-harvested from 10 hectares of Sangiovese Grosso vineyards, the vines being at least 30 years old with southern exposure. The wine is aged for a minimum of 5 years, with at least 3 1/2 years in oak and chestnut casks.
After 6 months in bottle, this Brunello reveals a powerful, but elegant array of black stone-fruit and roasted herbs along a tannic structure that guides the taste-buds to a finish of crisp, dark minerality.
