Fonterenza Rosso di Montalcino is produced by sisters Francesca and Margherita Padovani at their tiny biodynamic estate in Sant'Angelo in Colle, on the southwestern slopes of Montalcino — one of the most prized positions in the entire appellation for producing wines of depth and elegance. The sisters farm their small holdings biodynamically with extraordinary attention, producing minute quantities of some of the most sought-after natural wines in Tuscany. The Rosso di Montalcino is made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso — the same Brunello clone as their flagship — harvested by hand, fermented with native yeasts in open wooden vats, and aged in large neutral Slavonian oak casks without additions or filtration. The 2020 vintage in Montalcino delivered exceptional concentration balanced by fine acidity, making this a Rosso of rare depth and longevity. Fonterenza produces tiny quantities and allocations are extremely limited worldwide — a genuine privilege to carry.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
