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: 2028 - 2038
What the critics say:
"Very perfumed Brunello full of violet aromas, black pepper and licorice, cedar wood and smoky. Sucrosity on the palate with full body, weight, large tannins of good ripeness, velvety and dusty on the finish, crisp acidity and chewy tense finish. Drink or hold."
"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 123 smolders in the glass with a rich blend of cocoa and coffee grind aromas that give way to lavender-laced black cherry scents. It's lively on the palate, silky-smooth and pliant, with ripe red and black fruits that swirl throughout, offset by a tinge of sour citrus. The 2019 tapers off with fantastic length, poised yet expressive, leaving hints of salted licorice and a tart blackberry concentration. This will require some time to integrate its oak, yet it has the balance for a long and steady evolution. "
