Vinification
The grapes are destemmed while keeping the berries intact and pass through a roller sorting table. Once in the tanks, alcoholic fermentation begins and takes place at a temperature between 25 and 30°C. Maceration on the skins lasts almost one month, with frequent pump-overs and délestage to encourage the extraction of aromas, color, and structure.
Aging
After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, the wine matures for approximately 36 months in large 50 hL Slavonian oak casks. This is followed by bottle aging for at least one year before release.

BRUNELLO TERRE DE FJOLI

From the heart of Montalcino’s southwestern slope, at an altitude of 350 meters, comes the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG – Terre de Fjòli: a Sangiovese Grosso that interprets its terroir with both rigor and elegance.

The galestro soils—stony and impeccably drained—impart a distinct mineral signature that forms the wine’s deepest identity.

In the glass, it presents a brilliant and luminous ruby red. The aromatic profile reveals small red berries, violet, and delicate balsamic nuances. On the palate, it unfolds with a savory and persistent character; it is structured yet never heavy, sustained by a minerality that leads toward a harmonious finish of rare distinction.
