TERRE DE FJÒLI Rosso di Montalcino

Terre de Fjòli Rosso di Montalcino represents a masterful interpretation of its category, successfully blending the austere structure typical of the region with a savory, modern drinkability. Crafted exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso grapes grown at 300 meters above sea level, this wine draws its profound identity from the southwestern slopes.
