A delicious Chianti Classico with enough fruit to be enjoyable on its own and the structure to stand up to rich beef and pasta dishes. Or just a good pizza!
In the estate's 40 year history, the family has only made a Riserva nine times. The 2015 edition is one of the greats, powerful and intense and built to unwind with grace for decades.
Organic/Bio A really good Rosso di Montalcino shouldn't be declassified Brunello - it should be its own thing for its own purposes. Which is what we have here in a Rosso made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grown in the heart... Read More

There's 50% less Pertimali Brunello in 2017 than usual due to a very strict selection in the vineyard and less power and structure, too. But the resulting wine is delicious Brunello already, full of flavor and flying across... Read More

Lower ABV The kind of easygoing, easy drinking, red Tuscan natives quaff by the carafe with pre-dinner nibbles, pasta in red sauce and pizza at lunch. It's 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot, picked not too ripe and made all in... Read More
100% organic Sangiovese from the ancient red soils (dating from the Triassic period) on the plateau overlooking the winery and San Gimignano below. Elisabetta Fagiuoli makes around 700 magnums per year of this stunning wine and... Read More
