Gualto Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

Profile & Story

THE HISTORY OF THE FAMILY The company purchased in 1957 by the father of the current owner, with Gualtiero has obtained, from the end of the 80s, a radical improvement with the implementation of new vineyards (about 100 ha out of 500 ha among olive trees, scrub and arable land), the construction of a new underground cellar, the purchase of selected barrels, used and dosed in different ways, and of concrete vats. Gualtiero, helped by new and valid collaborators, has changed the organization of the company whose activity is the result of coordination between the campaign and the cellar, sales and communication. The new vines were planted using clonal selections tested at Pisa’s University. The winemaking techniques are oriented towards the pursuit of excellence with the purchase of French oak barrels of 30 and 60 hl; the grape selection process is carried out manually both in the countryside and in the cellar with the most innovative methods (oshillys) to obtain an optimal harvest. The vineyards today are all organic. Do not forget the tasting cellar and the renovation of old farms and houses in the village to welcome wine lovers. The vineyards are located in the same area with an extension of approximately 100 hectares but the altitude changes from area to area and the vineyards are all at an altitude between 250-270 meters above sea level. The geological characteristics are different: some soils are silty sand, others clayey, others with fossils and marl. About 300,000 bottles of Brunello, Rosso di Montalcino, igt Poderuccio, Gamal vermentino and Gamal rosa igt, organic Dop Terre di Siena oil and Grappa from the Brunello vineyards are produced.
