ITALIAN WINES

BOSCO ALBANO

A family story. "Bosco" means forest and it is because once the estate was a forest of beeches, poplars and oaks. "Albano" was the name of the father of Luigi and Tarcisio Durante, who are the owners of the winery. Many years ago the estate belonged to their father, but he had to sell it. In the '90s, the two brothers decided to buy it back, determined to make their father Albano's dream come true.

Villa i Cipressi started to produce Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino in the year 2000. The winery has 3.5 hectares of Sangiovese vines at two locations. One is in the south part of the municipality in the area of Castelnuovo dell’Abate at 250m above sea level with primarily silty sandy soil which gives the grapes great structure and an elevated alcohol content. The other is in a wooded area on the western side of the hill at 450m above sea level of mostly limestone but with a slight presence of clay in the soil which produces grapes and wines that are especially fragrant and aromatic. Both lots afford an ideal location facing south, favouring a perfect maturation of the grapes. The two vineyards, different in soil and in microclimate, allow for a blend which enriches and betters the quality of the wine.
