Scopone Societa' Agricola S.R.L.

About Winery and Wines

The story of Scopone begins in the nineteenth century when the farm was the residence of several families of farmers who worked the lands of the Property. During World War II, Scopone became a refuge for evacuated people and even today the elders of the village of Montalcino fondly remember the place that hosted them in one of the darkest moments of the History of our Country. After the war, there have been several owners until 1992, when the Genazzani family, looking for a house in the countryside, acquired the farmhouse and grounds (40 hectares). In 1993 the legendary Settimio Dinetti, who was born and raised among the vineyards of Montalcino, and caretaker of the Property, made ​​with hands (and feet!) some young wine from the only one old vineyard that Scopone had at the time, and offered a 50 liter demijohn to the Genazzani family. That simple wine was so good that during a dinner with a group of friends, the 50 liters disappeared in a flash. Thus was born the idea of transforming Scopone in a winery.
