The family has produced wines in Montalcino for over three generations. They have 16 hectares of vineyards. I visited there without an appointment as I own a couple of cases of their wine and wanted to see their winery. The wines have received some great scores by the critics, including 100 points by James Suckling for their 2010 Brunello. The winery seems to be doing extremely well and they are building a new facility. I reached the winery via a dirt road which takes off directly from Montalcino next to our hotel. I recommend if visiting Montalcino, traveling some of those back roads as it will give you a good feel for the surrounding landscape. I met with one of their administrators, Silvia Tarroni, who was very helpful and knowledgeable. She was very generous and set up a dinner reservation at Il Giglio where we enjoyed a wonderful meal and drank a fantastic bottle of Sassetti Brunello wine.



Wonderful! Looks absolutely amazing!
