Sangiovese

The Rosso di Montalcino by Poggiarellino is a vibrant and approachable red wine made from two of the most genuine and sincere winemakers (both in their 80s and still doing the work themselves with little help) from Sangiovese grapes grown in the calcareous clay soils of Montalcino. The winery, known for its commitment to traditional winemaking practices and sustainable farming, ensures that the wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, followed by aging in large oak barrels for 12 months from their Brunello grapes. This careful process results in a wine with balanced acidity, firm tannins, and a fresh, elegant finish. Poggiarellino’s dedication to preserving the natural character of their grapes and terroir ensures that each bottle of Rosso di Montalcino is a genuine representation of the region’s rich viticultural heritage.

Poggiarellino

Poggiarellino is a small family-run estate near Montalcino, where Gianni and Anna Fanti - the loveliest couple in their 80s - tend to just a few hectares of Sangiovese vines. The farm has been in the family since the 1950s, but their first Brunello was only bottled in 1996. Their vineyard work is personal and hands-on, and their wines carry a purity and clarity that feel like a revival of a slower, more thoughtful Brunello tradition. At Poggiarellino, there is no desire to compete by volume or flash—each vintage is shaped quietly, with respect for the land and respect for time.
