Our Rosso di Montalcino La Fiorita are blended with Sangiovese coming from vineyards suited to Brunello and therefore degraded. They perfectly reflect an elegant introduction to Sangiovese as an expression of Montalcino and La Fiorita. Aged 10 months before being placed on the market, their balance will make you want to discover more and more about our wines and our Brunello.
