Palazzo is a estate that has been producing wine for more than ten years. The estate is roughly 20 acres, the land authorized for the production of Brunello di Montalcino is a mere 10 acres. A property of these dimensions creates firmly controlled surroundings which are determined by its owner.

Sited on the western side of Montalcino, the estate is quite high in terms of altitude - roughly 480 meters above sea level. This altitude ensures excellent ventilation which is salutary for grapes, as it reduces cast production to an uncovered minimum. The vines themselves are over twenty years old and have therefore grown long root systems making them more flexible during periods of drought.

Most Brunello estates let go their products in January of the fifth year after the harvest, but Palazzo waits to release the vintage for six to eight months after that, with a part set aside in exceptional vintages for an additional year for the production of the prestigious Riserva.
