Noble, elegant, hert-warming, healthy; wine to enjoy - in the past made from just-crushed grapes, now aged - together with simple, genuine Tuscan food.
Wine which only in conformity with the strictest rules has the right to call itself by the name of the land from wich it springs and with which it shares a long and turbolent history.

In the hills around Montalcino, where tradition and innovation have blended in a pinnacle of quality and achievement, a mild climate, a bountiful land and the skills of winemakers have exquisitely combined to create from the fruit of precious vines an extraordinary red wine, Brunello, a symbol of excellence.
Tuscany provides the setting for this story of selected grapes and refined wine-making techniques, of great challenges, and of a pople and wine that have become legendary.
