Podere La Palazetta

Castelnuovo dell'Abate has been the home of the Fanti family and Podere La Palazzetta for generations. The great-grandparents and grandparents grew grain and kept animals. The switch to wine production began very hesitantly, and it was only when the very small zone in which Brunello wines can be produced expanded that it made sense to switch entirely to viticulture. Flavio and Carla Fanti began making wine in 1988 with just one hectare of Sangiovese grapes. Today, their children, Luca and Thea, continue their parents' work by cultivating 20 hectares of vineyards and 2,500 olive trees.

The vineyards and olive groves are located southeast of Montalcino at an altitude of 365 m, from where you can enjoy the view of the Abbey of Sant'Antimo. Nature with mild, rainy winters and dry, hot summers enables relatively reliable grape and olive harvests of the best quality. This results in fragrant, colorful Brunello wines, Rosso di Montalcino, San't Antimo DOC and Rosso Toscano wines, which also contain acid and tannin, because without them wines would be boring and short-lived.Since the 2018 vintage, all organic wines have been certified organic, only the Brunello wines are still in the process of being converted due to their long maturation time in barrels.
