PRODUCER

The Cantina di Montalcino was founded in 1975 and was then acquired by Cantine Leonardo da Vinci in 1990. There are ninety associate growers whose combined vineyards cover 108 hectares.

VINEYARDS

Small, hilly area in the commune of Montalcino. The grape growers belong to the Cantina di Montalcino co-operative, near Siena.

PRODUCTION

Maceration on the skins takes place during fermentation and lasts approximately 8 - 10 days, together with frequent pumping over. Temperature control (28-30°C) during fermentation encourages good colour and tannins while maintaining the rich fruit aromas characteristics of the grapes.
