Scopetone
In Montalcino, the female universe has taken on an increasingly central role in the enological environment.
An example is Loredana Tanganelli, together with her husband Antonio Brandi, owner of Scopetone, a family-run organic farm on the southwestern side of Montalcino.
A direct relationship with agriculture, that of Loredana, started in 2002, when he took over the La Melina farm, so named because his grandfather Alvaro had planted apple trees there, as well as a very small 2,000 square meter Brunello vineyard. Initially, the main activity was honey, my great passion. Beekeeping in Montalcino is a historical and valuable practice – explains Loredana Tanganelli – grapes were instead sold.
