Grappa di Brunello di Montalcino · in gift box
This grappa has an independent, almost noble personality. The pomace from 100% Sangiovese grapes is masterfully distilled in Alba by the Marolo family on behalf of Tenuta Fanti. The result is a crystal-clear distillate that is intense and aromatic on the nose and harmonious and wonderfully rich on the palate. A squeaky clean grappa from the best house. SUPERIORE.DE

The Fanti family came to Montalcino in the early 19th century, almost two centuries before the birth of Brunello. It has always been an attractive point of reference for wine lovers from all over the world. The parcels of Tenuta Fanti are in the immediate vicinity of the parcels of Sassetti and Poggio di Sotto. The approximately 300 hectare property has been restructured and expanded over the past 15 years. Since then the estate has experienced a tremendous upswing.
The very popular owner Filippo Fanti, driven by great energy and extremely hospitable, also called Sarrino by close confidants, is a guarantor for enjoyable wines, which represent a unique experience for friends of noble wines. Since 2007, the former president of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino has been supported by his daughter Elisa, who is very competent in the vineyard but also in other matters.
The cellar opposite the Abbazzia di Sant'Antimo church was completed in 2004 and is completely underground. It is built into a hill so that only the entrance can be seen from the outside. The generously designed operating rooms are equipped with the latest winemaking technology. There are traditional large barrels, tonneaus and barriques, all of which are used in the production of Brunello. For some years now, the terroir has been better expressed because the wood notes have been pushed back during the ageing of the wines.
After the completion of the winery, Philippo Fanti concentrated on the new vineyards, which were planted after careful selection of the best clones. All the south facing parcels of Tenuta Fanti have now grown to 50 hectares and are located in the area of Castelnuovo dell'Abate, where the lands have a high proportion of Galestro. The majority of the vines thrive on Latvian soils, in lower altitudes one usually finds loose clay. The Sangiovese grape occupies 80 percent of the area under cultivation, the remaining ten hectares are planted with alternative Tuscan grapes and international grape varieties. SUPERIORE.DE
