Brunello di Montalcino Riserva docg
After a lot of work, a lot of passion, a lot of care day after day, they have allowed our wine to reach this goal in the six years since the harvest.
Six months after the harvest, uncorking our Brunello Riserva allows us to appreciate the complex aromas and aromas that are released from the wine, bringing out hints of cherry, red fruits, and then of cinnamon and undergrowth with hints of spices in the the final.
Produced in a very limited quantity, around 1500 bottles per year, so as not to give up the artisanal nature of the production and not to trespass on the small plot of land which manages to give it unique characteristics.

At the end of the fermentation, another 2-3 week maceration on the pomace follows.
