The property, located at the extreme south of the Montalcino boundry, was bought in 1994 and it had been totally abandoned but the land had been always dedicated to vineyards. This was a great opportunity, in as much as it gave us the chance to create an estate without any compromises, not needing to rely on somebody else's choises. In 1997 we began making our first Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino "il Roccolo", while with the vintage '98 we began to produce a Rosso di Toscana "Il Leccio" as our basic wine.
