Located on the Eastern side of the commune and separated by a few \nhundred metres, Montestefano is a few hundred metres south of Montefico and was \nthe first to be bottled as a single vineyard wine, by the legendary Beppe Colla \n(of Poderi Colla) in 1961. Montestefano typically combines elegance and richness \nwith a firm structure whilst Montefico is more austere with bracing tannins. The \nviticulture is sustainable and the wines are all made the same way, with 20-25 \ndays of skin contact and aging for 20 months in large neutral botti.
