Sangiovese

Cielo d'Ulisse, or "Ulysses’ sky," is a poetic expression of Brunello di Montalcino from Podere le Ripi, crafted under Sebastian’s meticulous care. The vineyards, thriving on biodynamic principles, are densely planted to encourage vine competition and enhance grape quality. Sebastian’s approach involves no chemicals, spontaneous fermentations, and aging in large oak casks to allow the wine to develop naturally. This Sangiovese, with its balanced tannins and vibrant structure, captures the essence of the terroir and the careful stewardship of the land. Sebastian’s philosophy is to create wines that are pure, expressive, and deeply rooted in their environment.

Podere Le Ripi

What began as Francesco Illy’s dream of beauty upon a wild Montalcino ridge has since blossomed into something far richer than wine—a living ecosystem. Today, together with Sebastian Nasello, the estate’s longtime winemaker and guiding spirit, Podere Le Ripi has become a place where agriculture and philosophy intertwine. Nestled between the eastern and western slopes of Montalcino, where Sangiovese vines live among olive trees, woods, and orchards, the farm pulses with biodynamic vitality. Bees, sheep, and wild herbs shape the landscape; fermentations rise on native yeasts; vessels of wood, concrete, and clay cradle the wines with patience.
