Description

Our Brunello Riserva is produced only in the vintages we consider excellent. For this wine we choose the best bunches from our Brunello vineyards, for a maximum of 2000 bottles per year. To make it even more precious, each bottle is numbered by hand and a small percentage of them has a label engraved by hand on the glass by a local artisan.

Pairings

For this wine the perfect combination is our Fiorentina steak, but nothing takes away the possibility of pairing with cheeses of prolonged maturation (e.g. Parmigiano Reggiano, Castelmagno, Monte Veronese, Pecorino della Triana or Maremma). If we want to taste it as a meditation wine, a good combination can be dark chocolate.

From this winery
Since my childhood, I would follow my father who used to work for many years as a cellarman in a Montalcino winery.

Later, at the age of fourteen I started to work. I started my agricultural experience in the vineyard, learning to know the vines and their vegetative cycle. I learnt how to cure them, prune them and how to do grafts.

I believe in Brunello di Montalcino and in the unique characteristics that the Sangiovese cultivated in these lands can produce.

The Cava d’Onice company is run solely by me and my family.

My wines must be the pure expression of the territory, in which they are born. Read more
