From the estate's flagship 12ha Pianrosso vineyard (240–360m) above Orcia river with clay-calcareous soils, this single-vineyard Brunello ages 36 months in large Slavonian oak (20–62hl) plus bottle refinement. The challenging 2017 vintage yields elegant concentration through sea breezes and precise vinification.
