These wines aren’t trying to mimic the Rhône — they’re distinctly Tuscan, rooted in Cortona’s limestone and sunlight, with the clarity and poise of true terroir wines. ‘Il Castagnino’ grew out of a desire to explore the potential of the Syrah grape in Cortona in all its versions, and Fabrizio and Alessandra now like to think of it as the younger brother (who is just as loved and cared for) to their flagship wine, ‘Il Castagno.’ Harvested a little earlier in comparison, the aim was to craft a wine that focuses on freshness and acidity rather than power and a concentration of sugars and extraction. To this end – after hand-harvesting and native fermentation – Castagnino’s time on the skins is deliberately on the briefer end of the spectrum and it does not age in wood casks but only in cement barrels. The wine's somewhat irreverent and jaunty profile and its disheveled character are exactly what Fabrizio wanted to achieve – his words – and what he enjoys most about it. Vibrant, bold, and punchy, succulent dark red fruit and plum, juniper berries, spice, leather, and earthy notes are front and center.

It is just inside Tuscany but within spitting distance of the border with Liguria. Retaining freshness is one of Giuliani’s obsessions, it seems. Hand-harvesting starts in September but the moment of picking varies across the several vineyard parcels. Grapes from these soils are a little lower in acidity than those from their shale soils – where they grow Vermentino for their Fosso di Corsano label – so in the Vigne Basse they include 5% Albarola to raise the acidity a little. They also avoid malolactic conversion in all their white wines for the same reason. The cellar is on four levels so the grapes are moved by gravity in order to preserve the quality of the fruit. Slow pressing is followed by fermentation with ambient yeasts in stainless-steel tanks, where the wine then ages four months on lees before bottling. 2024 was one of the colder years in the last decade and flavors are a touch more restrained in the wine – more citrus and less orchard fruit, but still at the core the classic Vermentino scent, with emphasis on the stony\/salty finish thanks to the cooler weather.

'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":42276279091280,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/PietrosoRossoDiMontalcino.png?v=1776296431"},{"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.

Forever rebelling against modernization, bureaucracy, and industrial farming practices, her timeless, unadulterated, and deeply satisfying wines are the direct result of one woman’s dogged commitment to purity and tradition.
