Description
Intense ruby red colour with slight garnet hues, the nose is varied in its olfactory perceptions, still fresh, with a perfect balance of intense varietal and oak spices. The almost balsamic notes invite a long olfactory analysis before the actual tasting.
In the mouth, it is supported by lively acidity, the powerful body envelops ripe tannins and releases sensations of rare complexity and remarkable finesse. From mid-palate onwards, the stimuli thicken, leading to a long, noble, elegant aftertaste.

The estate's origins date back to the first half of the 17th century when the family of the Sienese noble knights Della Ciaia established a property in the Sant'Angelo in Colle area that became larger and larger year by year. In the second half of the 19th century, it passed into the hands of the Servadio family and then the Franceschi family.
In 1973, Count Alberto Marone Cinzano took over the estate, intending to contribute to the development and affirmation of Montalcino and its Brunello on world markets.
