Produced from the original 30-year-old vines on the steepest Galestro soils. The thin, poor, but well-draining soil is mainly of calcareous and sandy limestone composition. Mineral-rich shale and sandstone formations, as well as marly limestone, are also present. The clayey component of the soil is enriched with fossil deposits. Vignavecchia spends 24 months in oak and at least 12 months in bottle prior to release. This wine displays Intense ruby red colour. The nose expresses notes of ripe red fruits, floral aromas of violets, forest undergrowth and finishes with pleasant hints of aromatic wood. In the mouth it is warm, with a dense texture and persistence. San Polo’s Brunello Vignavecchia is perfect for long aging and improves in the bottle, thanks to the characteristics of the land it comes from.
