The location
is in Tuscany, on the south-east side of the Brunello di Montalcino
production area, in the old town of Castelnuovo Abate; the cellar is
in an old building of the 18th century where there was an olive oil
mill. The premises have been restored and made suitable for a cellar
with high respect of their original structure so that now in the undergound
there is a beautiful ageing room with a natural protection from the
outside temperature fluctuations.
Our vineyards
are made of two major parts, the first one, that is called Poggio al
Sole is located between the towns of Castelnuovo Abate and S.Angelo
in Colle. It's of 3.5 Ha, it faces south-east and is at an altitude
of 200 m above sea level, the soil is partially clay and tufo. The plantation
system is at 1,8 x 0,8 m and the vines come from a clone selection of
ours. The second one, Pian Bossolino, is at a few kilometres
from Castelnuovo Abate in the direction of Montalcino on the east side
of the Brunello production area and it has an exceptional position exposed
to east-south-west with a hill on the north side that protects from
the cold northern winds; the altitude is about 350 m ,the vineyard extends
for about 3 Ha and has a galestro soil.
