Aging for 4 years, 3 of which in 25 50 and 75 hl oak casks from Slavonia and Allier followed by at least 12 months of refinement in the bottles placed in storage at controlled temperature.

Montalcino - near Siena on the Sant’Angelo hill overlooking the Orcia River, facing South South/West and exposed to sunrays all day long. Average elevation of vineyards 300 m above sea level. Particular clones of Sangiovese, selected by Col d’Orcia. Manual harvest with rigorous selection of the best bunches in the vineyard at first and subsequently on a selection table in the cellar. Certified Organic.

95 Points Vinous Magazine - Dusty earth gives way to dried roses, incense, hints of cedar, sage, currants and black cherries in a display that makes for a very special experience. It’s nuanced and perfumed from start to finish, boasting silky textures contrasted by tart berries and minerals, but with sweet tannins that frame the expression perfectly. This impresses on nearly every level.
