Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Montalcino, Italy, lies Villa al Cortile, a charming farm estate owned by the renowned Piccini family. The estate boasts of 12 hectares of vineyards, divided between two distinct areas - 8 hectares in the north at Montesoli and 4 hectares in the southwest at Lavacchio. Each area offers a unique terroir and climate, providing the perfect conditions for producing exceptional wines.
The vineyards at Montesoli, with their north and north-east exposure, benefit from cooler temperatures, resulting in a higher level of acidity in the grapes. This acidity is a crucial element in crafting the classic Brunello, known for its ability to age gracefully. The cool breeze from the nearby coast also adds a touch of freshness to the grapes, enhancing their vibrancy and complexity.
In contrast, the vineyards at Lavacchio bask in longer hours of sunshine and warm winds from the coast. This exposure imbues the grapes with a deep concentration, warmth, and intense fruity character. The result is a rich and robust wine with a full-bodied flavour that lingers on the palate.
At Villa al Cortile, the Piccini family has carefully nurtured their vineyards to produce high-quality grapes, harvested at the perfect stage of ripeness. These grapes are then meticulously transformed into exceptional wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the land and the expertise of the winemakers.
Visitors to Villa al Cortile can indulge in a guided tour of the vineyards, followed by a tasting of their renowned Brunello and other exquisite wines. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Tuscan countryside and experience the passion and dedication that goes into every bottle of wine at Villa al Cortile.
