Catch a Rising Star-San Filippo!
The San Filippo estate is a relative newcomer, having been established in 1972, and producing its first wines five years later. Robert Giannelli, the new owner has revamped the winery and its winemaking. The vineyards are in the portion of the Montalcino appellation that yields particularly elegant and well-structured wines. Their Brunello is made of 100% Sangiovese Grosso, from soils rich in clay, limestone laced with marl and fossils. These classic Montalcino soil characteristics lead to added complexity in the finished wine. Their finest vineyard, Le Lucere, is bottled separately from the rest of the estate owing to the added richness and depth of flavor that these superb grapes bring to the bottle. This up and coming producer is rapidly rising to the top ranks of producers of Brunello di Montalcino.
Reviews
Wine Spectator 96 Points
Displays ripe berry and orange peel character, with hints of other citrus fruits. Full-bodied, with soft tannins and a beautiful underlying acidity. Long, flavorful and dense in structure. Best wine ever from this producer. Best after 2011. 2,500 cases made. -JS
