Cantina Di Montalcino Brunello Di Montalcino 2016

Cantina di Montalcino has been founded in 1970 and it is the only cooperative winery in the Brunello area. Today it counts 94 members, small farms that treat about 160 hectares of vineyards, on average less than 2 hectares each, located between 120 and 650 meters above sea level. They are small growers: they produce quality grapes for a total of about 76,000 bottles including Rosso di Montalcino DOC, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva. They work with care and dedication, coordinated by our technicians.

Renovation work began in 2000 and the old structure, consisting of load-bearing concrete tanks, was demolished and completely rebuilt. The architectural design now reminds of Tuscan hills: it is a unique reality in the area. The winery has become part of the Toscana Wine Architecture circuit which brings together 14 “design” wineries of the region.
