A small estate high in the hills of Radda, which was owned by a very enthusiastic and affable Swiss, Marco Montanari, at the time we bought these wines. Livernano is another estate in the more than capable hands of Stefano Chioccioli. Marco Montanari was determined that these wines should reflect the best fruit of the 'terroir' without relying simply upon new oak flavours or heavy extract. Sadly the estate has since changed ownership.
