Situated noth of Montalcino on the hill of Montosoli, a particularly ideal area, Le Gode estate extends itself over about 16 hectares of wich 6 are vineyards registered for production of Brunello di Montalcino.
The property of the Ripaccioli family, it is to this day managed by the family.
Gathering the fruits of the labours of the father Ilano in the seventies, the harvest of 1995 marked the first production and marketing of Brunello di Montalcino.
The farm house and cellar have been meticulously restored in keeping with the tradition of Tuscan farm houses.
In addition the cellar is equipped with the latest technology serving a traditional philosophy of production. Vinification is carried out in stainless steel vats with capacities from 50 to 75 hectolitres at a controlled temperature.
The next step of ageing takes place in places in the cellar where, in a suitable environment, the Brunello di Montalcino matures and evolves in Slovenian oak casks with an average capacity of 25 hectolitres for a period which, while varying acoording to the characteristics of the year, is never less than two years.
The positioning of the vineyards to obtain optimum sunlight, the particularly favourable microclimate and peculiarity of the terrain together with the expert labour of the Ripaccioli family, both on the vines and in the cellar, contribute to obtaining wines of high quality with unique charateristics.
