There are few crafts in life that can command the attention and livelihood of 27 generations, but the Padelletti family has been caring for land in Montalcino since 1571. Documents and recovered labels have proven their presence in Montalcino from generation to generation, and their cellars are still located beneath the family’s 16th century home. From fathers to sons and mothers to daughters, each passing generation has held on strong to tradition, in fact - as a renowned wine journalist once claimed - “there are traditionalists and there is Padelletti.” They’ve never strayed far from aging in 30-hectoliter Slavonian botti nor has the reputable elegance and freshness of their wines varied, attributed to their high lying vineyards on the north side of town. The Padelletti family has paved much of the history of this outstanding winemaking region, and have changed very little in terms of their philosophy along the way: genuine care and respect for tradition plus deep respect for the environment.

Padelletti sources the fruit for their Rosso from a 20 year old vineyard, that provides Sangiovese with a notable lift and delicate aromatics. The maceration for Rosso is a minimum of 14 days but can be up to 21 days depending on the character of the vintage. It is refined for 6 to 12 months in large oak casks. It’s a real head turner, exquisitely balancing weight with elegance.
