Description
In 2010 we came up with the idea of further parcelling out our vineyards, a true zoning within our 20 hectares in Montalcino. This led to the selection of a "Cru", a plot we considered to be the standard-bearer of the most outstanding characteristics for Brunello di Montalcino. From that moment on, the grapes from this parcel of land are harvested and then vinified separately while maintaining the same estate production philosophy. The name we have given to this wine is dedicated to Her who has represented us on our labels since 1979; the Pomona.
