Behind The Brand

What was the initial spark for your brand, how did it all begin?

Brunello di Montalcino traces its roots to the 19th century when local farmers began experimenting with a native grape variety cultivated in the surrounding territory of Montalcino. This grape, known as “Brunello” was identified as a variety of Sangiovese. One of the producers that contributed to the popularity of the Brunello di Montalcino was Clemente Santi whose his 1865 vintage was awarded with a silver medal by the Agrarian Committee of Montepulciano and other significant international recognitions. Thanks also to the awards of many other producers received in the following years in the 20th century the Brunello di Montalcino became the symbol of the finest Italian wines.
