Bellavista is a single vineyard wine produced only in the very best years. The Bellavista vineyard comprises 22.82 hectares on an elevated plot with clay and gravel soils. A blend of Sangiovese with small amounts of Malvasia Nera, the wine undergoes a temperature controlled fermentation, pumping over and maceration over a 26 day period to build tannin structure. Following pressing, the wine is transferred to a mix of new and seasoned French oak barriques for 15 months maturation. Bellavista is typically a powerful yet profoundly elegant wine replete with red fruit, savoury earthy forest floor notes and polished tannins, with superb ageing potential.

Ciacci Piccolomini dAragona Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Ciacci Piccolominis 55.5 hectares planted to vine are dedicated to Sangiovese Grosso, the finest iteration of Sangiovese. Facing south in a warmer mesoclimate, the refraction and reflection capacities of ancient shale interspersed with the water-absorption properties of calcareous marl and an altitude between 240 and 360 metres make for a confluence of all the elements intrinsic to their signature superlative Brunello from the single Pianrosso vineyard. 'superlative Brunello across...'- Ned Goodwin MW These elements are maximised in tank for the first fermentation before articulation across a phalanx of traditional Slavonian wood during extended periods of ageing: 24 months for the DOCG Brunello.
