Domus Vitae

Domus Vitae was born in Montalcino as a project to bring attention to an area rich in history, flora and microclimate which are particular of this south-west area.

The owners, Attanasio Cristofolini Family are enthusiasts for the potential and for the fascination of these areas. The estate is 90 Ha wide with selected clones of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet. 

In the old farm whose name is “Pianacci” the cellar preserve the wines from two to four years, it depends from the tipology. To search better balance and complexity during the ageing stage of the wine, there are two sorts of woods: 5/6 HL tonneaux and 30/40 HL barrels. 

The owners try in every way to respect the wise earth language concentrating into the wine the different flavours that the grounds, rich of stones of ferrouginos sands, can impress into the grapes.

A human life dimension where everything is made by hand and the owners know one by one all the ranges as they were good friends keeping a sight control upon everything in the production and development stages.
