DOC(G): Brunello
di Montalcino
Rosso di Montalcino
About the Producer:
The medieval
hills of Montalcino have given way to a new wave of
glitz in winemaking. But in the eastern corner of this region it
is the passion and drive of the true artisanal producer that shines
above the glamour of the neighboring estates. Patrizia Cencioni
doesn’t spend her time behind a desk; instead she sits behind
the wheel of her tractor, tends to her vines by hand, and takes
on the tasks of the cellar. The relatively unknown producer walked
away with the Three Glasses award in 1997 and has not slowed down.
Producing just three wines - the classic Brunello
di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino as well as the IGT wine Solarianne - she
prefers to stay away from the influential lures of marketing hype
which
provides
for
its
exceptional
price-to-quality
ratio.
