Camigliano di Montalcino occupies the south-western part of the region, situated on the hillsides along the course of the Ombrone, at an altitude of approximately 300 to 350 metres. It is an open, sun-drenched landscape, facing the Maremma, where vineyards, olive groves and Mediterranean scrub combine to create an environment with a strong rural character. The warm, breezy climate promotes the even ripening of the grapes and fosters a balance between richness, freshness and tannic structure.
The soils used for viticulture have a clay component combined with limestone and silt: a combination that imparts structure, depth and a distinctive mineral character. The main grape variety is Sangiovese, expressed locally in a style best suited to the Montalcino appellation, with wines characterised by aromas of red fruits, violets, aromatic herbs, spices and hints of undergrowth.
The winemaking tradition has developed alongside the history of the village, which was inhabited as far back as Etruscan times and later became a medieval stronghold. In the cellar, fermentation in stainless steel, moderate pumping-over, prolonged maceration and ageing in wood and in bottle accompany the natural evolution of Sangiovese, enhancing its elegance, longevity and sense of place.
