Description
Sangiovese in its natural state. It is considered to be the younger brother of Brunello. It is aged for one year in 20 hl Slavonian oak barrels and unites the imposing structure of Brunello with the freshness and vivacity of a young wine. It should be drunk young, although it does last with ageing.

For the Ciacci family, traditional ageing in big oak barrels and renewed vineyard management based on climatic changes and in favour of the territory constitute the best strategy to obtain wines that best express the territory of Montalcino.
