Villa Le Prata Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Massimo 2019 is a remarkable red wine originating from the exquisite Tuscany region. This sought-after Brunello is the result of dedication and love for viticulture, embraced by Massimo Losappio, chief surgeon of Montalcino hospital, and his wife Marialuce, a philosophy teacher. They purchased the Villa in 1980 and, driven by a passion for wine and the joy of sharing the fruits of this generous land with friends, planted the first hectare of vineyard near the Villa. Later on, with the absolute desire to enclose in a single bottle the most authentic atmosphere of the Montalcino land, two other vineyards were planted in the area of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, and a fourth vineyard was acquired near the Villa. These vineyards in three different zones create the perfect combination of elegance, altitude-conveyed perfumes, and the body and structure of the land south of Montalcino. Villa Le Prata is a very small estate run by family members who work with passion to obtain exclusively fine wines.
