La Palazzetta Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG 2013

In vineyard

100% Sangiovese grapes grown from our own vineyards in Castelnuovo dell’ Abate. The vineyard is situated 365 metres above sea level with limestone rich in stone marl. La Palazzetta with 20 hectares of vineyards and 2500 olive trees dominates the magnificent view of the Abbey of Sant’Antimo.  Age of vineyard is about 40 years old with a planting density of 5,500 plants/Ha.

Not extremely cold winters, hot summers, rainy and humid springtimes and autumns create in these limestone and rocky lands very fragrant wines with intense colors and pleasant acidity and tannins. The natural principles of cultivation and production will receive the organic certification starting with the harvest of 2018.
