Three non-adjacent vineyards surrounding the parish church, in an area called Rennina in ancient times. The south-west facing soil dates back to the Eocene age and mainly consists of sand, tuff and clay. The vines are 25 years old on average.

This classic Brunello displays a light ruby-red color. The nose is herbal as evidenced by the Mediterranean scrub notes of thyme and rosemary along with a hint of balsamic, which opens to red berry aromas of cherry and plum. There are hints of pine resin and sweet notes of vanilla bean. The palate shows a balance of acidity and fruit with sweet, enveloping tannins that will ripen over time. This wine drinks beautifully now but will reward those who chose to age it.

"Fresh and focused, this red exhibits cherry, plum, hibiscus, eucalyptus and mineral aromas and flavors. Racy and elegant, with superb intensity and harmony. Its youthful exuberance plays out on the finish, with dense, dusty tannins and excellent length."
