This female star-studded cast of winemakers is an admirable family-run operation that dates back to 1989 when lifeforce of the estate, Patrizia, decided she wanted to make Brunello. What was once a deteriorating property is now a winery buzzing with life and passion. Beyond the hectares of land freckled with olive groves are Sangiovese vines dedicated to producing Brunello di Montalcino.
They aim for the highest quality, with all vineyards meant for Brunello production, whilst they also produce a hidden gem Rosso here that is effectively a "baby Brunello" for early drinking. The vineyards can be found in the southeast at a high altitude with soil composed of volcanic rock and compacted clay (or Galestro). They are harvested by hand and then fermented with indigenous yeasts.
What the critics say:
"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 123 is remarkably pretty and perfumed, lifting from the glass with a blend of roses and violets giving way to cedar shavings and blood orange hints. This soothes with its round textures as mineral-drenched red fruits settle upon the senses. The 2018 finishes with medium length and a tinge of black licorice, gently tannic yet still quite fresh. "
