WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Vignaferrovia vineyard, a 4-hectare parcel on the Pian delle Vigne estate, is characterized by calcareous clay soil and an altitude of 130-200 meters. The vineyard's southwestern exposure is noted for its influence on grape maturation. Vinification involves fermentation in both steel tanks and wood barrels under controlled conditions. As a Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, the wine undergoes a rigorous aging process: a minimum of 5 years from harvest, including at least 2 years in oak barrels and a minimum of 6 months in bottle. This wine is produced exclusively in exceptional vintages.
