Description
At 400-450 meters above sea level and facing southeast, the sandy soil contains a good quantity of lime and clay which aids water retention, while the volcanic influence contributes to a wonderful minerality. Power and structure with elegance are the result in La Magia’s Brunellos, aged for three years in 500 litre French oak tonneaux.
Fabian Schwarz and his family have decided to produce their precious Brunello only in the best vintages, listening to nature and helping it to speak freely in their wines, protecting the grape and soil identity. This is why by the end of the ‘80s sustainable energy had been introduced: initially with solar panels for hot water, then – from 2008 – with a photo-voltaic system to make the cellar fully self-sufficient in energy. Today, the estate in Montalcino is not only working with an ecological approach in the cellar, but especially in the vineyards thanks to their biodynamic certification. Il Vispo is La Magia’s youngest, freshest expression of Sangiovese out of their Brunello cuvees.
