Production area: Montalcino (Siena)
Average altitude 300 m above sea level
Grape varieties: Sangiovese, special clones selected by Col d’Orcia. 
Climatic trend: a very good year with no particular climatic events: sufficient rainfall in spring, dry and hot summer, but not exaggeratedly so. Beautiful autumn with optimal conditions for harvesting. These conditions gave very concentrated, structured and long-lived wines.  
Vinification: fermentation on the skins lasting 18-20 days, at a controlled temperature below 30°C, in low and wide 150 hl steel tanks, specially made to effectively but gently extract tannins and color.
Aging: 4 years, 3 of which in Allier and Slavonian oak barrels of 25-50 and 75 hl capacity, followed by bottle aging for at least 12 months in temperature-controlled rooms.
Alcohol content: 13.8% vol.
Serving temperature: 18°
Organoleptic characteristics:
Color: Intense ruby red, with still youthful reflections.
Bouquet: complex, fresh, broad and deep. Oak spices are harmoniously integrated into the inviting fruit
Palate: impressive impact: the impressive tannic structure is wrapped in a generous, almost creamy body, releasing multidimensional taste sensations. Primary fruit and positive evolution of the long oak aging are in perfect balance, leading to a noble and elegant aftertaste.
