Vineyard size
5 ha of today's vineyard are classed for Brunello, 1.5 ha for Rosso di Montalcino.
Fermentation
Caterina ages her Brunello in 500 to 5,000 liter barrels (between 2 and 3 years) made of Slavonian & Allier oak - eschewing the use of barriques - using natural yeasts, no temperature control, long maceration on skins, and no filtering, resulting in less oak influence and more varietal nuance. Following Gambelli's concept and spirit, her goal is to allow the vineyard to express itself in a clean atmosphere while honoring the region's culture. Other than the vineyard and the vintage, no external influences can influence the wine.
Soil
clay, sandstone and limestone
