The medieval hills of Montalcino has given way to a new wave of glamour and glitz in winemaking. But in the eastern corner of this region it is the passion and drive of the true artisanal producer that shines above the glamour of the neighboring estates. Patrizia Cencioni doesn’t spend her time behind a desk, rather she sits behind the wheel of her tractor, tends to her vines by hand, and takes to the tasks of the cellar. The relatively unknown producer walked away with the Three Glasses award in 1997 and has not slowed down. She prefers to stay away from the influential lures of marketing hype which provides for its exceptional price-to-quality ratio.

Ruby with garnet highlights. On the nose aromas of plums, violets, and nutmeg awaken the senses and are accented on the palate with vanilla, red currant and tobacco. Medium-bodied with smooth tannins and fresh acidity provide for a seductive finish.
