This female star-studded cast of winemakers is an admirable family-run operation that dates back to 1989 when life-force 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.
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.
Optimal drinking window: 2026 - 2032
What the critics say:
"A fresh and crunchy Brunello with fine, integrated tannins and bright acidity. It’s medium-bodied with orange-tinged acidity and flavors and an energetic finish. Bright and easy. Drink or hold."
"Dried black cherry scents combine with notes of dusty rose and crushed rocks as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino slowly opens in the glass. It flows across the palate with silken textures as a steely mineral component emerges and tart blackberry fruits settle on the senses. The 2020 leaves the senses drenched in primary concentration and edgy tannins, tapering off pleasantly bitter and long. "
