Sangiovese

About the Producer:
This “community
against ostracism” is much, much more than a winery. The largest
organization of its kind in Italy, San Patrignano welcomes people
directly and indirectly affected by all casts of addiction problems
and brings them into a community where they earn dignity and responsibility.
A cardinal part of this process is professional formation in one of
the community’s many production disciplines – in wine,
furniture, textiles, cheese, crafts, livestock, graphics, the fine
arts, technology, and more – which make San Patrignano financially
independent and allow new members to join the organization without
charge. Rehabilitated individuals leave the community confident and
well prepared to rejoin society.
This unconventional estate has consistently impressed enophiles and
wine critics worldwide since its inception in 1978, and founder Vincenzo
Muccioli envisioned the winery as a link to tie community members
to the land. The accomplishments at San Patrignano inspired renowned
consultant Riccardo Cotarella to join the team pro bono, an addition
that heightened their already impressive results in the cellar overseen
by Vincenzo’s son Andrea. From more than 100 ha of vineyards
in the Rimini hills come just a few wines; the most important are
Montepirolo and Noi, both blends that include international varietals,
and Avi, the estate’s pure expression of Sangiovese. Every bottling
communicates the dedication of the workers and their profound love
of the land.
