Production area

Montalcino, Sant'Angelo in Colle.
Hilly lands at about 250m above sea level.

Vineyard
The soil is rich in clay and has low fertility.
Spacing: 2,40x0,90 m, 4'600 vines/ha.

Weather conditions

Mild winter with low rainfall. In February and March temperatures were above the average, anticipating the beginning of the vegetative cycle. A drastic drop in temperatures occurred in the night between April 7^th and 8^th. The usual late winter pruning limited the freeze damage, which however led to a reduction of the quantity of bunches per plant. The lower production made it easier for the vines to face a dry and drought summer, avoiding excessive stress to the plant, which kept a healthy and luxuriant leaf wall until the harvest.
Harvest on September 17^th.

Grapes
Clonal selection of Sangiovese, locally called Brunello. Manual harvest, with accurate grape selection of the best bunches.
