Piero Palmucci founded this estate in 1989, in the southeasternmost corner of Montalcino, in Castelnuovo dell'Abate. Its wines quickly become some of the most sought after in this prestigious appellation. The property and its 22 hectares of vines enjoy a unique microclimate. In view of the extinct, snowcapped (even in summer) volcano, Mount Amiata, there is always a freshness to the air. The steeply sloping vineyards, all between 200-400 metres with the river Orcia snaking far below, are blessed with marl and galestro soils, littered with marine fossils. All this adds up to exceptional conditions for the vines and long-lived wines of immense finesse. Aged over three years in cask and a year in bottle, this is a very fine red. Decant early.

"Stunning balance between embryonic sweet fruit, supple acidity and long, finely chiselled tannins" Walter Speller
