Carefully selected from the best barrels in the cellar, our Brunello Riserva is undeniably
elegant and impressive. A bouquet of black cherries with hints of dried rose and white smoke.
It is soft and mineral with fine tannins and spicy notes of liquorice and redcurrant, the
Riserva slowly flexes its muscles throughout the long, savory finish.

a few years of aging but it is already exceptional now.

WINEMAKING
Each vintage of this wine is produced by selecting the best barrel in the cellar. This wine
it usually comes from older vineyards and matures longer in oak than Brunello. THE
the soil is poor and rocky, composed mainly of clay and limestone. The production area is
located in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, overlooking the Orcia river valley in the south-eastern region of
Montalcino. The collection is done manually. The selection of grapes is exceptional
rigorous, resulting in very low returns. The winemaking is in oak vats, with spontaneous grapes
fermentations guided by indigenous yeasts and long macerations. This wine ages for 45 months
in 30 hl Slavonian oak barrels
