ASHWIN'S REFLECTION:

Voliero is a boutique winemaking project from a well-respected winemaker, Andrea Cortonesi. The estate production is extremely limited - on the order of ~1,000 cases per year across their Rosso and their Brunello bottlings. The vineyards are situated at slightly higher elevations, which result in a fresher, leaner expression of Sangiovese from Montalcino - a style that I happen to be a huge admirer of.
