From southeast Montalcino's south-facing vineyards (240–360m altitude), this 2019 vintage blends estate-grown Sangiovese from clay-calcareous soils, vinified traditionally and aged 36+ months in large Slavonian oak followed by bottle rest. Warm vintage ripeness finds harmony through the estate's modern-traditional balance.
