About the wine

Francesco Illy, coffee dynasty, has always dreamed of the island. It became a paradise spot near Montalcino, which until 1998 was a blissful, untouched island for shepherds and sheep. The view is beguiling, the architecture breath-taking, the team and a committed community, 133 ha of forest, vines and olive trees intact thanks to uncompromising biodynamics (Demeter) and the complete absence of plastic. And as dry as it can be here, Francesco and his team have thought about it and - quality and sustainability as a mission - planted bonsai vines, although small, but also adapted to this environment, and thus, as a thank you, outstanding in the qualities for this. Incomparably seductive, sensual wines

Tasting note
Grand seigneur - that is this balance, this depth, this irresistible charm without obtrusiveness: the dark fruit: berries and cherries, plums and these anecdotes of a rich, fulfilling life: floral notes, 1000 others, and that in great harmony. On the palate, silk elegance, intellectual wealth, human warmth, which in harmony is so beguiling because it seems so simple, as delicious red to brown fruit, silky soft tannins, ripe acidity and chalky shale minerality merge into a personality that is as integral as it is deep.
Culinary recommendation
Goes well with braised lamb, game dishes, aged hard cheese
Vinification
Selective reading by hand. Fermentation with the vineyard's own yeasts and maceration for 40 days in open vats, aging and aging for 24 months in large oak barrels and 20 months in cement tanks.
