SANT’ANTIMO ROSSO DOC DOMUS VITAE
Sant’Antimo Rosso DOC
The Sant’Antimo Rosso Doc owes its name to the suggestive Romanesque abbey of Sant’Antimo, the pride of the artistic heritage of the town of Montalcino. Together with the best-known Brunello and Rosso, it completes the range of great red wines of a territory highly suited to the cultivation of vines. The Domus Vitae estate is located in Montalcino, in the south-west part of the denomination, near the village of Camigliano. The property of great extension includes lands cultivated with vineyards and large wooded areas. The latter determine a particularly favourable microclimate for the ripening of quality grapes. A nineteenth century ancient Tuscany farmhouse which in Italy is called ‘Cassero Senese’, once used as a structure to defend the territory, today houses the cellar for the vinification and maturation of the wines of the area.
