History
Family Fanti for generations native of Montalcino has passed the farm on from father to son, growing since forever vineyards and olive trees.
In 1988 Luigi inherited the farm from his father, and since the early 90's Luigi and his wife Maria Assunta moved in the farm and they began the restoration work of the farmhouse and the extension of the vineyards. The first vineyard was planted in 1990
Subsequently in the year 2000 the farm began also to commercialize its own label.
Even today the farm is a family farm completely managed together with their sons Baldassarre and Manuele, which at the end of the school decided to continue with commit and devotion the family tradition, becoming farmers as lifestyle choice.
All the vineyards are situated around the property in one of the most suggestive and panoramic part of Montalcino, "poggio d'arna" on a hill covered of hundred-year woods. The vineyards have an exposure to south/south-east and an elevation of about 400 mt a.s.l., that allows a very good ripening of the grapes and an extraordinary range of intense and typical flavors.
I hope you enjoy these selections as i do !! P.S. 2012 and 2015 are two of the finest vintages from this region..
The Fanti Family has brought along World renowned winemaker Maurizio Castelli as consulting winemaker. These wines are fantastic.
