Winemaker Patrizia Cencioni founded her estate on the southeast flanks of Montalcino in 1989. Her soulful wines stand as a solid example of how hard work and perseverance can take a dream and transform it into one of the more promising boutique estates in this world-famous appellation.
Sitting on a wind-swept, high-altitude plateau, the estate benefits from a cool microclimate that works to moderate the more Mediterranean heat of this side of Montalcino. Soils at the estate are rich in “galestro” (a mineral, compacted clay) and volcanic sand, which give Patrizia’s wines a silky elegance in texture and tannin.
