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.
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."
"A rich ruby red hue, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva shows a bit more of its oak-inflected aromas with notes of black cherries, toasted cedar, black truffle, and leather. With fantastic structure, plenty of freshness, and a lot of potential, it really is a step above what the estate did with their classic Brunello, and although it has the oak influence, it's very well-managed and is going to improve with another year or more. It has a good deal of depth, with ripe, structured tannins and a salty finish. Dirnk it over the coming 15 or so years."
