Vineyard & Production
Sourced from Pieve Santa Restituta's 40-acre estate, entirely dedicated to Sangiovese in the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG zone. The 2018 vintage presented challenges—a mild, dry winter followed by persistent spring and summer rainfall required meticulous vineyard management. Careful treatments and precise agronomical techniques ensured healthy fruit development. Late summer brought warm temperatures averaging 35°C, while the crucial Tramontana wind in late September dried the grapes perfectly. Cool autumn nights and warm days allowed ideal ripening. Grapes from different vineyards are fermented and macerated separately for three weeks, then aged in oak for 24 months before blending and a final six months in concrete vats.
Tasting Notes
Classic Brunello character with layers of dark cherry, plum, and dried herbs. Notes of tobacco, leather, and subtle spice add complexity, while bright acidity and fine-grained tannins provide structure and elegance. The finish is long and persistent, with earthy undertones and a savoury quality that invites contemplation.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
