San Filippo

The eastern side of Montalcino, San Filippo is the Brunello winery founded in the
1970s by Roberto Giannelli around a wonderful structure steeped in history, which
dates back to the seventeenth century. The vineyards, with mainly north-eastern
exposures, are on the typical soils of Eocene origin, with medium-clayey areas
mixed with marl and limestone areas.
In the vineyard, with a sustainability focus, the philosophy is that of the analytical
selection of the grapes. In the cellar the approach is moderately modernist, with
ageing that takes place partially in small barrels. For the rest, the style of Brunello
di San Filippo is essential and traditional.
The color is ruby red with a slight tendency to garnet. The nose is intense and
complex, spicy, with dominant notes of morello cherm The olfactory phase
continues on the palate. The taste is full, harmonious, and persistent, with dense
and silky tannins.
