Tenuta Fanti

Tenuta Fanti (Formerly known as: Fanti Tenuta San Filippo) has been owned by the Fanti family since the early 19th century.  The estate includes 300 Ha but only 50 Ha are planted with vines.

The grapevines are very diverse: Not only Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, but also Trebbiano, Malvasia, Vermentino and Viognier. Tenuta Fanti produces a first-class Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from “Le Macchiarelle”, the oldest vineyard of the estate, which currently measures only 2.5 Ha and was planted in 1980 with 100% Sangiovese. Aged for a minimum of 24 months plus an additional 6+ months in the bottle before release. The plot for the Le Macchiarelle sometimes changes, however it is always the oldest plot in use.

The “regular” Brunello di Montalcino comes from different plots within the Montalcino region with a total of 10 Ha and is also aged for at least 24 months in oak barriques and casks. MORE ...
