Deep ruby to garnet-red in colour. In the mouth, pleasantly dry, warm, full and persistent with consistent tannins. This is a wine benefits further ageing, during which time it will become more rounded. Unfiltered, so may produce a slight sediment.
Food Match
Our Brunello di Montalcino Riserva can be enjoyed by itself, or matched with flavoursome foods such as aged cheeses, game and red meats. It even pairs with bitter chocolate. As with any rich, well structured red wine, avoid drinking it with vegetables that contain a lot of tannins.

Olio Extravergine IGP Toscana
Green colour with aromas covering the artichoke and green bean spectrum. Bitter and peppery. Particularly good with raw food, particularly vegetables as well as on soups and salads.
Olives from the Leccino, Correggiolo and Moraiolo varieties.
The oil is extracted mechanically in a cold press (temperature controlled around 27°C). Our olive grove is at around 400m above sea level and we cultivate Leccino, Correggiolo and Moraiolo varieties. The olive trees (around 550 in total) are cared for without the use of pesticides and fly control is carried out with a prevention system called Ecotrap, which ensures the olives are not contaminated.
The harvest is done by hand during the second part of October and the oil is extracted no longer than 36 hours after olives have been picked utilizing traditional technology at the press house located in Borgo Santa Rita (GR).
Grappa di Brunello
In the interest of not wasting good things in life that can have a purpose, the vinacce (skins, seeds, stalks) left after maceration following fermentation of our Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino are delivered for processing to the distillery A & G s.a.s. di Colle Val D'Elsa in Pian dell'Olmino.
Pot stills that operate in a water bath are used, for optimal distillation of this fine spirit. Production is limited to 400 bottles a year.
Confettura Extra di Uva Brunello
Each year, before the harvest we find ourselves with many ripe bunches of Sangiovese – too many to attain the very highest quality for Brunello. Therefore we undergo a selection process leaving the very finest bunches on the vine and dropping the rest of the fruit. We are not of the generation that appreciates waste, so we make a unique jam out of the dropped fruit by adding sugar (around 30-35%) and a natural thickener extracted from the fruit (pectin).
Characteristics
Aromas and flavours of grape must as well as a slightly set texture making it highly suited to spreading on bread with butter for breakfast. We also enjoy it with fresh cheese (cottage cheese, cream cheese and raveggiolo) it also contrasts well with fully flavoured cheese (pecorino and alpine cheese). The organoleptic details are the same as the wine with the presence of polyphenols and anthocyanins (you even find greater concentration as the jam has not undergone fermentation).
