About this winery

In 1983, Cosimo Loia purchased a picturesque property on the south-eastern slope of Montalcino, called Palazzo, which, coincidentally was the family name of his wife, Antonietta. At an altitude of 320 metres above sea level, it covers an area of about 15 hectares, of which 4 hectares are devoted to vineyards and 3 hectares to olive trees. The vineyards have splendid exposure. The entire production, including farming, harvesting, vinification, ageing and marketing is managed by the Loia family.

(Vintage 2016)

A full-bodied red with cherry, walnut and coffee undertones. It’s full and complete with beautiful intensity and a focused tannin structure. Very tight and intense. Perhaps the best ever. Better after 2025.
