The Wineries:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tenimenti Ricci:<\/strong> located in Sant\u2019Angelo in Colle, on the southern slope of Montalcino, it is one of the oldest and most traditional farms in the Brunello area. Today it is run by siblings Ida and Ferruccio Ricci, who combine modern management with respect for Montalcino tradition.<\/p>\n

Baietto:<\/strong> a label born on the hills of Montalcino that interprets Sangiovese Grosso according to the traditions of the area. The wine is carefully made and aged in oak casks, with the aim of combining aromatic complexity and elegance.<\/p>\n

San Giorgio:<\/strong> the Tenuta San Giorgio estate is located in Castelnuovo dell\u2019Abate, in the municipality of Montalcino, a few kilometres from the Abbey of Sant\u2019Antimo, one of the most striking Romanesque monuments in Tuscany.<\/p>\n

Cantine Leonardo da Vinci:<\/strong> located in Vinci, Leonardo\u2019s birthplace, with roots in the Montalcino area as well. The winery draws inspiration from the winemaking studies of the Florentine genius, who in 1515 wrote a letter to his estate manager with precise advice for producing a flawless wine. That document gave rise to the Leonardo Method, based on observation, innovation and respect for the land.<\/p>\n

Verbena:<\/strong> a family estate founded in 1985 with just 2 hectares of vines. Since 1999 it has been run by Luca Nannetti, who has grown production to about 30,000 bottles a year from 10 hectares. The vineyards lie in two areas: a cooler one facing north-east, and a warmer one in Castelnuovo dell\u2019Abate facing south-east.<\/p>\n

Val di Suga:<\/strong> the winery\u2019s history began in 1969, north of Montalcino. Its first released vintage was the Brunello Riserva 1977, and since 1994 the estate has been part of the Angelini Group. Its strength lies in three vineyards on the three slopes of the Montalcino hill, in the areas best suited to Brunello.<\/p>\n
