Poggiarellino

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

100% Sangiovese

Average annual production: 6,000 bottles

The farm lies adjacent to the Montosoli hill, facing south toward the hilltop city of Montalcino. Upon retiring from their corporate lives in Siena, husband and wife, Anna Toti and Lodovico Ginotti, decided to move to the farm of Lodovico’s ancestors and begin producing wine. The production is tiny and tended with the utmost care. Although not certified organic, no chemical fertilizers are used.
