Pure Sangiovese Grosso harvested at full phenolic ripeness, harvested by hand, destemmed grapes, spontaneous fermentation, without embellishments or filtrations: a pure expression to represent at its best and in the most honest way possible the fruit of these lands.

Aging takes place in large oak barrels: John's wine is union of art, history and science fully emotional, juicy and deep, it leaves an incisive mark in those who taste it and accompany their moments of life together with this wine. A Rosso di Montalcino that writes a new chapter in the history of these places.

From the producer

J G Benda

A new face for one of Italy's most important wine hills, Montalcino. He is John Benda, an English mother who grew up in Rome and lived many years in London, where his great passion for wine was born.

The winery, consisting of 2 hectares of vineyards surrounded by 16 hectares of estate woodland, is run together with his Australian partner Zoe Johnson. The vineyards are located between 520 and 550 meters above sea level below the Lume Spento pass in the direction of Tavarnelle. Surrounded by woods the 2 vineyards are born on different rock formations. The first vineyard, planted in 2006, is characterized by stone-stone based soils, dating back to the geological period of the Upper Cretaceous, with alternating gray marl: in these soils the presence of sand exceeds 60% bringing great elegance to the wines.

The second vineyard is older, planted in the 1990s on a rock formation dating back to the Paleocene period, where the soil has outcrops of quartzose-feldspathic siltstones and Galestro, all supported by a high presence of limestone.
