Description
In 2010 the idea of proceeding with a greater fragmentation of our vineyards was born. A real zonation within our 20 hectares in Montalcino. This led to the selection of a "Cru", a plot we deem bearer of the characteristics of greater prominence for Brunello di Montalcino. Since then the grapes from this bit of soil are harvested and then vinified separately, but always keeping the same philosophy of production. The name we have given to this wine is dedicated to her, who since 1979 represents us in our labels: the Pomona.
