Montalcino is located in the south of Tuscany, just 40 kilometres below Siena. The main town is located at a lofty height of 560 metres. The vineyards stretch along the slopes and hills all around. The vineyards in the Montalcino area cover 3,500 hectares. Brunello is grown on 2,100 hectares of the total area, and until last autumn, 510 hectares were reserved for Rosso di Montalcino, the second wine of Brunello, which requires less time to mature and is fresh and juicy, but also shows good depth. Shortly before the end of the year, it was decided to expand the area under cultivation for Rosso di Montalcino by a further 350 hectares.
