Fellow Bergamasco-transplanted-to-Tuscany Marino Colleoni, of Podere Sante Maria, became fast friends with the couple, bringing with him years of experience with natural, traditional farming and winemaking in the hills of Montalcino. There is definitely something Colleoni-esuqe about Le Vignette’s wines, particularly their Poggiorello Rosso – like a refined rusticity on the edge of wild, or an expertly tuned balance between vibrancy, elegance, and utter groundedness. Pulled from their mix of parcels, it is comprised of 80% red grapes (Sangiovese, Sangiovese Grosso, Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Canaiolo, Uva del Cavaliere and more), and 20% white (Procanico aka Rebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Riminese.) Spontaneous fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, which preserves the wine's pure fruit profile; it is aged in large, used oak casks, adding complexity without overpowering the wine's natural expression. Full of red plum, dark berries, savory herbs and earth, this is smooth, engaging, and eminently enjoyable while possessing a deft, almost coy complexity – there’s something irresistible here that goes beyond just reaching for another sip, tapping into real emotion and soul.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged for three years in large Slavonian botti, the 2021 is a study in tension, with power held in check by precision, structure softened by lift. The nose is immediately alive: peppery and saline, with flashes of blood orange, barely ripe blackberry, and a cool, stony edge. On the palate, it builds with intention, layering tart black fruit and citrus over a core of damp earth and subtle mocha. The tannins rise up firmly but gracefully, carried by electric acidity that keeps everything in motion. There’s a striking balance here, finishing long, and quietly persistent.

'Delfo' had quite a nose for terroir, deciding after much deliberation to purchase barely an acre of land not far from Montalcino’s city walls. Local history books mention that as far back as the 1300s, this rocky slope was favored for vines, and was called “contrada el petroso,” or simply, the place of many stones. With barely an acre of land, Berni made miracles happen. His wines (crafted for personal consumption, not for sale) were so flavorful and refined that his family encouraged him to turn his hobby into a true calling, and make wine for the wider world. Three generations and a few more acres later, the descendants of “Delfo” – nephew Gianni Pignattai, his wife Cecilia, son Andrea and daughter Gloria – are continuing their granduncle’s passion. While so much of Montalcino has become consumed by large estates and flashy conglomerates, it is a breath of fresh air to find a true family winery with deep roots in the region and an honest belief in the potential of Sangiovese from its native soils.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Berkeley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42275590275152,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/PietrosoBrunello.png?v=1776288899"},{"product_id":"castello-tricerchi-rosso-di-montalcino-2024","title":"Castello Tricerchi Rosso di Montalcino 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Rosso di Montalcino from Tricerchi hails from two vineyards sites – a more limestone-dominant site in Vigna Sant'Anna, and a much sandier vineyard in Vigna del Lago – both of them harvested and vinified separately.
