Villa Le Prata Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Villa Le Prata Brunello di Montalcino 2021 is a remarkable expression of Tuscany’s rich viticultural heritage. Bought in 1980 by Massimo Losappio, chief surgeon of Montalcino hospital, and his wife Marialuce, a philosophy teacher, this estate embodies a love for wine and the desire to share the bounties of their land. Their journey began with the planting of the first hectare of vineyard near the Villa, fueled by a passion that has flourished over the decades. To encapsulate the authentic essence of Montalcino, they later expanded with two additional vineyards in Castelnuovo dell’Abate and acquired another close to the Villa. Each vineyard, located in distinct zones, offers a unique confluence of elegance and aromatic complexity, shaped by the altitude and the robust character of the southern Montalcino landscape. Villa Le Prata is a boutique estate run by family members who pour their dedication into crafting purely exquisite wines.
