The current owners of this domain are Natalie Oliveros and Roberto Cipresso. From the beginning the company worked on the discovering of parcels of land characterized by a particular richness of soil and climatic profile in order to make vineyards based on its own production philosophy , with special selections of clones of Sangiovese planted at high density.
The wine is made of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes that come from a vineyard that is located in the same valley from where Brunello is made but on the other side of the river Orcia. The harvest generally is done during the third decade of September. The fermentation-maceration takes place in slavonian oak fermentation vats were the must reaches a maximum temperature of 30°C. The 12 months wood ageing period takes place in the 5 hl French oak barrels that were previously used for the Brunello. The annual production is of about 30.000 bottles.
