Tra Terra e Tramontana
Situated over 500 meters above sea level, Villa Le Prata lies just below the peak of Montalcino's hill. Here, the four small vineyards rest on a strip of land where diverse ecosystems and distant geological eras converge.
With less than three hectares of vineyards, Villa Le Prata is one of the smallest wineries in Montalcino.
The variety of elements surrounding us forms the foundation of our philosophy.
Each bottle is a harmony of precarious balances.
