Armilla
In ancient Rome “armilla” was a golden bracelet worn by men and women alike; however, “armilla” also refers to a particular bracelet awarded to Roman soldiers for military merit on the field and worn on the left arm. Here, “armilla” is the symbol of continuity: from Silverio to Ofelia, from Silverio to his daughters, from Silverio to his grandchildren.
The state vineyards are In Tavernelle (next to the Fossacolle and Pieve di Santa Restituta estates), southwest of Montalcino in the direction of Grosseto. The soil contains a prevalence of calcareous, siliceous and arenaceous elements more or less cemented and embedded with sandy layers. 3 hectares in total (2ha of which for Brunello di Montalcino).
