Armonia del Brunello Winery: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and Manor House – Montalcino, Siena – Tuscany REF. MON311 Where Brunello meets Mozart In the heart of the Val d’Orcia, on the hills of Montalcino, this 11th-century medieval estate is home to one of Italy’s most unique winemaking practices: the vines grow to the accompaniment of Mozart’s melodies, played through hundreds of BOSE speakers strategically positioned amongst the rows. A choice born of agronomic research conducted by the Universities of Florence and Pisa, which explored the effects of musical frequencies on plant health.
