Description	A modern interpretation of a Montalcino classic: a special selection from a great Sangiovese vineyard, it is vinified and refined with advanced methods and technologies. A wine that combines the great structure and longevity of Brunello with the freshness and readiness of Rosso di Montalcino. Rich, imposing, with intense and inviting fruit, elegantly supported by the noble tannins and spices that come from the wood, which create an impact that is both impressive and harmonious and pleasant. Modern and innovative, while maintaining great respect for the territory. This vineyard is located in an area where Brunello di Montalcino could be vinified, but Col d'Orcia decides to "downgrade" this Cru every year to produce this Rosso di Montalcino which, unlike the classic red label, is aged one more year strictly in barrique. This choice gives us a unique wine every year, a compelling expression of Rosso di Montalcino that could easily be mistaken for an excellent Brunello di Montalcino!
Origin	Own vineyards, located in Montalcino, on the Sant'Angelo hill, overlooking the Orcia river, facing south. Average altitude 250 m above sea level
Grapes	Banditella is a vineyard planted in 1998, where the Sangiovese clones were chosen through a 10-year process of selection of the company clones with the advice of the University of Florence. The Banditella vineyard provides one of the best expressions of the Sangiovese grape. Altitude: 300 mt. above sea level Manual harvest with rigorous selection of the bunches.
Winemaking	Medium-long maceration in low and wide vats at temperatures not exceeding 28° to maintain a fresh and long-lived fruit. Two daily pumping overs, combined with 2 délestages on the 3rd and 5th day of fermentation, favor an effective but delicate extraction of color and tannins from the skins.
Aging	After malolactic fermentation, the wine is placed in barriques and tonneaux (Allier oak, Fontainebleau and Blois) for a one-year refinement period.
Color	Intense ruby red.
Olfactory sensations	Complex and elegant with notes of red fruit, cherry and morello cherry, which blend well with hints of vanilla and toasting.
Taste sensations	Wine with excellent structure, enveloping, with a dense tannic texture that leads to a pleasant and persistent finish.
