This elegant Brunello comes from an estate that dates back to the 17th century and is set around a stunning palazzo built by the Bishop of Montalcino. In 1985 the then owner Elda Ciacci gave the property to Giuseppe Bianchini who had been farming the estate for many years since she had no children of her own. In 2004 Giuseppe passed away and left the property to his son and daughter, Paolo and Lucia.
Today these siblings have been joined in the business by Paolo’s son and daughter who are leading this young family legacy into a new generation. The family focuses on crafting delicious and approachable Brunello wines which are capable of significant additional ageing in the cellar.
This is their classic Brunello di Montalcino made from grapes grown on rolling Tuscan hillsides next to the Orcia riiver. The presence of the water helps to moderate the hot summers, locking in plenty of freshness and aromatics into the grapes. The nose is dominated by classic red cherry notes as well as delicate hints of spice and toast from the oak ageing in large Slavonian casks.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
