The vineyards are located on the north-eastern side of the Montalcino hill at a height of approximately 400 meters and the soil is composed of sandy beaches with the presence of clay. We produce Rosso di Montalcino from the youngest vines (6/16 years) and Brunello di Montalcino from the oldest vines (16/38 years). All the most important processes are rigorously handmade by us as a family.
The harvest is rigorously done by hand by qualified people. After an initial selection in the vineyard, the grapes are selected grain by grain on a vibrating sorting table. Only for the harvest we use external specialized workers, this allows us to be able to harvest quickly, and therefore not wait a long time from harvesting to transferring the grapes to the cellar, and at the same time being able to make excellent selections in the vineyard. For each row we make 2 or 3 passes so that we can only harvest the grapes we want. To produce Brunello di Montalcino Riserva we use smaller bunches selected in small areas of our vineyards. To be able to work as easily as possible, the grape harvesters use buckets which, once full, are delicately emptied into a tractor bin, when the latter is full it arrives in the cellar where it is emptied into the destemmer (a machine used to separate the stem from the beans). The beans fall delicately into a sorting table, the table is a vibrating table where the expert hands of trusted people select bean by bean. The selected beans fall into the crusher where they are lightly crushed and after which a pump transfers the must into stainless steel vats.
