Awards
In developing the aromatic variety of the wines as far as possible, he has aimed for an elegant and perfect bouquet. As a result, the vines have rewarded him with even richer aromas though grown at an altitude in excess of 400 meters with consequent extreme ranges in temperature.
This young wine-maker has aspired to produce long-lasting and complex wines which, by nature, need time to mature and are not easy to make. Although he has a great respect for the Brunello tradition, he is continually looking to the future with his far-reaching innovations. The age of the vines, their particular biotypes and the soil composition have also aided in rendering a rich and long-lasting wine. The authenticity of these wines rises above the fleeting trends.
