"In the wine one can taste the warm climate the grapes are growing in. The yearly precipitation in our area is much lower than in the other wine growing areas in Montalcino. This guarantees exceptional full bodied and intensive wines."

... Important facts about the wine...

From the beginning the goal was clear; traditional artisan production and highest quality; not mass production and high yield. Because the grapes are carefully selected in the summer, the yield by acre is much lower than the mandatory figures for Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and St. Antimo DOC. Since the whole production quantity is small it is possible to pick the grapes by hand before they are mashed. Therefore, even years that are not so good only the best grapes will be processed. Because we do not buy additional grapes from other sources we guarantee the origin of our wine.

The vineyards are located at an altitude of about 250 to 300 meters above sea level and are optimally situated to the southwest. The stony "Galestro ground" guarantees very good drainage and stores solar energy also very well. In the wine one can taste the warm climate the grapes are growing in. The special micro climate of this location exists because the Orcia Valley opens to the west which allows a steady air circulation from the sea even in the hottest summer time. The yearly precipitation in our area is much lower then in other wine growing areas of Montalcino. This guarantees exceptional full bodied and intensive wines.
