Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is the result of hard work in the three best vineyards of the company. Since the Duelecci vineyard had the best harvest for several years, the company chose it for the production of Brunello di Montalcino Riserva. The vineyard has an excellent exposure, stretching on a gentle hillside in the southern part of Montalcino.
The vineyard has a very stony soil, so it shows the best results in cool years.
