Perched above the historic route between Montalcino and Sant Antimo Abbey at 400 meters elevation, Ventolaio s vineyards capture the essence of pristine Tuscan terroir. The Fanti family s estate, blessed with south/south-east facing slopes and mineral-rich marl-galestro soils, spans 14 hectares of prime Brunello territory. These ancient plots, predominantly composed of clay interspersed with stone and gravel, provide optimal drainage and stress for their 20-25 year old Sangiovese vines, cultivated using traditional methods passed down through four generations. This distinguished Brunello di Montalcino Riserva showcases the family s artisanal approach, beginning with hand-harvested fruit and indigenous yeast fermentation. After five years of patient aging in carefully selected Slavonian and French oak, the wine emerges with layers of wild cherries, sun-warmed leather, and fresh tobacco, supported by hints of Mediterranean herbs and crushed stone. The extended barrel time creates a harmonious marriage of power and elegance, reflecting both its noble origins and the Fanti family s dedication to excellence.
