The Sangiovese grows on clay-rich, south-east-facing slopes at Montosoli, north of Montalcino. It macerates for 25–30 days, completes malolactic in conical Slavonian oak vats, then ages around three years in large Slavonian casks. Founder Giuseppe Cencioni was among the founders of the Brunello di Montalcino Consortium in 1967.

Vinoteka's note
Deep ruby with garnet glints. Red fruit and vanilla on the nose; the palate is harmonious, with firm tannins, real structure and a very long finish. Serve at 18–20 °C with roast red meat, game or aged cheese.
