Molino Di Sant'Antimo

About Winery and Wines

The preexisting territory is the cradle of the vines selected and then planted. The hands and heart of man are their true nutriment, and in the end make the final product outstanding. We are aware of being emerged in the terroir of Montalcino. All our efforts have been directed towards and aimed at what we believe may be the best Brunello possible for this generous land. The whole family is involved with a natural enthusiasm. It is our social atom. Everything happens in a primeval silence. It is a book of debts and merits. A 'matrix' from which we build ourselves and we build the produce of our identity. With determination, where the primary objective is the search for excellence, we have undertaken the construction of the Masterpiece, knowing that it will never be completed. The modern cellar is situated in the woods nearby, it covers about 800 square metres and so the wine is produced in the best possible conditions. Vinification takes place in modern steel barrels of 1000 Ql. The area reserved for the aging process houses large French oak barrels from Alliers and barriques of French and American oak.

The 'Azienda Molino di Sant'Antimo' comprises about 40 hectares of land facing south to south west from about 200-250 metres above sea level down to the river Orcia. To one side Mount Amiata stands watch, when the 'maestrale' wind blows it brings the smell of the sea and the coast, to the other side the long ridge protects the land from the cold winds from the north and north east. The land is a mixture of clay, marl and crushed stone rich in minerals. The vineyards have been developed gradually. Our wines: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Rosso di Montalcino DOC, Perpaolo Cabernet Sauvignon IGT, Ommio Merlot IGT, Chardonnay IGT Toscano, Romito IGT Toscano (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese).
