The sweet soul of Montalcino

The production of Moscadello in this area is very ancient and it dates back to the Renaissance time. To honor this centuries-old tradition, the most challenging and prestigious version of Moscadello was produced: the Vendemmia Tardiva (Late Harvest), resulting in a one-of-a-kind vintage, the first and the last, born from old and low-yielding vines.
