The Franceschi (Montalcino) and Terlato (Napa) partnership has flourished for more than 30 years, with each family bringing its expertise in the given variety. While the Franceschi family has produced prestigious Brunello di Montalcino for generations, the outstanding Napa Valley Merlots created by the Terlato family are widely recognized among the best in the world today.

Driven by shared principles of passion for quality, respect for tradition and a steadfast belief in innovation, they have created this Super Tuscan made in a state-of-the-art winery in Montalcino.
