The Estate

The vineyards are planted exclusively with the Sangiovese grape and are situated in three distinctive areas within the boundaries of Montalcino'a appellation. This diversity allows for a balanced product even in years when weather conditions would prevent the production of single vineyards cuvèe.

The farm covers 8.5 hectares, 3.5 are cultivated with vines for the production of Brunello di Montalcino and there is one hectare of olive trees.

The People

The farm ‘Pietroso’ started in Montalcino in the 1970s thanks to the passion of winemaker Domenico Berni. His aim was to produce a limited quantity of fine wines such as Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino. Today Pietroso is run by Gianni Pignattai

Gianni Pignatai has one of the best rapport quality/price in Montalcino. His wines are frank, honest and marked by strong fruit.
