Brunello di Montalcino Riserva D.O.C.G
Hervest
At the end of July we conduct the “green harvest” to lighten the yield of grapes. Later, in October, we carry out a manual harvest, passing through the vineyards twice: the first time, to pick the ripest bunches, leaving the others to ripen for another 10-15 days before going through the vineyards again. In the winery, further grape selection is carried out on a conveyor belt with an optical selector.

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is produced in the best vintages of the company, making a limited quantity and selecting the ripest bunches during the harvest, and making a further selection on the berries themselves. The must ferments for 20 days in contact with the skins.
Vinification
Spontaneous fermentation for 20 days in controlled
temperatures in stainless steel tanks (50- and 70-hectoliter).
Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. Use of ‘submerged cap’ method.
Soil
Marine sediments from Pliocene epoch, sand, and clay mix.
Vineyard
Fabbrica, Southern Montalcino, 370 m.a.s.l., planted in 2007. Rows run east to west, planted 250x80 cm apart with 5,000 vines per hectare.
Exposure
The vineyards are situated in the southern part of the commune of Montalcino, at an altitude of 370 meters above sea level. This is a fresh, well-ventilated zone, which helps us to have healthy grapes, with minimal use of pesticides and no use of fungicides whatsoever. There is sufficient rainfall, especially in July and August, which allows the grapes to attain full ripeness without the vines suffering water stress.
