Despite its size the estate is not a mono-culture with one third planted to vines, one third to olive groves, fruit trees and other crops and the remaining third woodland.

Grape variety: Vermentino. Current vintage: 2021. Regional information: Montalcino is their principal estate and lies at the confluence of the Orcia and Ombrone rivers on the southern slopes of the township facing the Mediterranean. Here conditions are ideal with a variety of soils; structured clay and chalk for the reds and soils with stones and a high proportion of organic matter for their whites.

Tasting notes: This wine is fresh and intensely fruity on the nose. Exotic fruits and spices with underlying tones of Mediterranean wood are revealed. In the mouth the wine is full with soft structure that is enlivened by a rich acidity.
