This exceptional family-run winery, led by a talented team of female winemakers, traces its origins back to 1989 when the estate's driving force, Patrizia, set her sights on producing Brunello. What was once a neglected property has transformed into a vibrant winery filled with life and passion. Amidst olive groves, the estate's Sangiovese vines are dedicated to crafting Brunello di Montalcino. With a commitment to the highest quality, all vineyards are focused on Brunello production, though they also produce a hidden gem—a Rosso that serves as a "baby Brunello" for earlier enjoyment. The vineyards, located in the southeast at a high altitude, thrive in soil composed of volcanic rock and compacted clay (Galestro). The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented using indigenous yeasts, ensuring the wine’s authenticity and character.
