Lambardi Maurizio
Canalicchio di Sotto estate was purchased by the Lambardi family in 1965, the property already included a small plot of wanton vines; this was how the idea of creating a vineyard came about and in 1973 the first Brunello di Montalcino (1978) came out in 500 bottles from a small 4 Hl barrel and the tiny wine cellar which included only a small room under the house. The year 1967, just after the DOC recognition, was an important year for Brunello: a small group of producers decided to protect their wine and founded the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. My father was one of them: farsighted in his thoughts that this wine would become an Italian excellence and as such would have to be regulated and protected.
