Name in Italian means “Stone Hill” and it is no coincidence, since it is made from a mixture of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese grown in the most rugged and impassable places Banfi estate in Montalcino.

This allows for good color and flavor of the wine to preserve, without unnecessary burdening the tannin. Also conducted malolactic fermentation.
