"The Montalcino hill has numerous pedological environments as it was formed in different geological eras, mainly a clayey mixture rich in shells. The presence on the territory of slopes with different orientations, the marked modulation of the hills and the difference in altitude between valley areas and the highest territory, determines very different climatic microenvironments, even in areas very close to each other.



The quality of Brunello di Montalcino is born in the vineyard, thanks to meticulous manual work, from the dry pruning to the choice of the most suitable bud, from the containment of the vegetation to the thinning of the bunches, operations aimed at producing and selecting the best fruits."
