In 1890, Lavinio Franceschi founded this winery in the hills surrounding Montalcino, with the mission of elevating the local Sangiovese clone, \"Brunello,\" to a higher level. Their oldest vines, planted between 150 and 450 meters of altitude, are now among the region's most prized vineyards. The 2020 wine has been internationally acclaimed for its depth, complexity, and aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2 data-end=\"674\" data-start=\"651\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"1126\" data-start=\"676\"\u003e The grapes for this Brunello come from the oldest plots of Il Poggione, planted at an altitude of between 150 and 450 meters. Their location on the southwest slopes of Montalcino ensures optimal sunshine, while the altitude brings coolness and preserves acidity. The vines are on average 25 to 40 years old and are pruned using the cordon spur and doppio capovolto systems. Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand, with strict selection in the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1153\" data-start=\"1128\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"1628\" data-start=\"1155\"\u003e After harvest, the wine is macerated on the skins for 15 to 20 days using the traditional submerged cap technique. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25 to 28°C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for a long time in large French oak barrels of 30 to 50 hectoliters. This is followed by an additional aging in the bottle for approximately 12 months, allowing the structure and aromas to fully meld.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1653\" data-start=\"1630\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-end=\"1794\" data-start=\"1655\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1687\" data-start=\"1655\"\u003eSangiovese – oldest plots\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1690\" data-start=\"1687\"\u003e 100% Sangiovese from our own vineyards in Montalcino, specially selected for their location and age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1827\" data-start=\"1796\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"2172\" data-start=\"1829\"\u003e This wine has a ruby ​​red color and an aroma that opens with notes of cherries, plums, cedar, and leather.
