Method & Production

Grapes are sourced from 4 diffrent Brunello vineyards, Carpazo, La Caduta, Il Cassero and San Piero Caselle.  


During the first two days of the fermentation, special attention is paid to the seeds, which are eliminated if they are not ripe enough. The primary fermentation takes 7 days, at controlled temperatures between 28 and 30 °C, and is followed by delestages and pump overs. Because of the superb quality of the skins, the wine is kept in contact with them for a further 10/15 days.  The wine is aged for 3 years in the traditional 80 hectolitre Slavonian and 50 hectolitre French oak, followed by at 1 year ageing in bottle before the wine is released.

Tasting notes

Ruby colour, tending towards garnet with age. Mature and open, with an inviting mineral character. On the nose, there are floral notes of dried roses, joined by ripe plums, and blackberries. It has earthy notes too, with hints of crushed stones. Medium to full body palate, which is intense with sweet red and black fruit to the core. Very long in length and has persistent tannins on the finish. Classic Brunello.

Food matching

Roasted and grilled meats, also works well with game such as roast venison with porcini mushrooms. Delicious with stews and braises such as scottiglia di cinghiale and rabbit stew. Aged cheese, especially pecorino.
