Abbadia Ardenga, a winery part of the history of Brunello di Montalcino, is extremely special and worth visiting, not only for its products but also for its unique charm. The estate has a very long history, having once belonged to the powerful Piccolomini family, whose members included Pope Pius II, responsible for constructing the town of Pienza, a masterpiece of the Renaissance.

After the fermentation in stainless steel tanks lasting 18 days, the wine is transferred to Slavonian oak barrels where it spends 36 months. After that is moved for 12 more months in stainless steel tanks to rest and reintegrate and, in the end, the refinement is completed with 12 final months of bottle aging. This wine is the most complex and elegant expression of the Sangiovese grape variety. It is produced with the grapes from the vineyard “Piaggia”. The excellent exposure and exceptional pedoclimate lend this wine great personality and balance.
