Villa AL Cortile

The 12 hectares of the Villa al Cortile estate are divided between 8 hectares of Montesoli, north of Montalcino, and 4 hectares of Lavacchio, located south-west of Montalcino.

The vineyards in the northern area have a north and north-east exposure, with significantly cooler temperatures, which usually give a more marked acidity, a fundamental element for a classic Brunello destined for a long aging.

The vineyards in the southwestern area, on the other hand, enjoy a longer exposure to the sun and hot winds which, coming from the coast, usually infuse more concentration, warmth and a more intensely fruity character.

Especially during the ripening phase of the grapes, the temperature range plays a fundamental role in the formation of primary aromas, when the first morning sun takes away the cold of the night.
Thus hot days and cold nights lengthen the maturation, helping to give finesse and depth to the wine.
