Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Elia Palazzesi winery located and in what part of Montalcino does it produce?
Elia Palazzesi is located in the southwestern part of Montalcino, in the heart of a wild wooded area, in the Collelceto locality. The 7-hectare property is planted exclusively with Sangiovese, yielding Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino and the Riserva Elia.
Who founded the Elia Palazzesi winery? Is it a family business?
Yes: the Palazzesi family's winemaking history dates back to the 19th century, when Elia's grandfather planted the first two hectares of vineyard, later expanded over time. The Collelceto property had been bought by the family in the early 1900s, but operated as a livestock and grain farm: Elia Palazzesi was the first to produce wine for sale from this centuries-old estate.
Does the Elia Palazzesi winery produce organic wines?
Yes: nearly a hundred years after the estate's founding, Elia Palazzesi continues to make wine according to family tradition, with organic certification as an added value of an approach focused on preserving the authenticity of the territory and of Sangiovese.
