This is a wonderful winemaking family, the Gianetti’s in Montalcino, who are compassionate, passionate and just simpatici about winemaking. From peasant roots (“Mezzadri” in Italian meaning share croppers) the family has been on the land in Montal-cino for many generations. It was only in 1964 that they were able to purchase the land and realise their dream of creating fine wine under their own label of La For-nace. The wines from La Fornace are starting to make a great impression on the world stage.
The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino is complex with great dark cherry fruit and notes of leather, tobacco, chocolate, peppery spice. The palate is full and rounded

La Fornace sits on the site of a 1490 brick kiln about 3 km north-east of Montalcino at roughly 400 m. The Giannetti family worked the land as sharecroppers until grandfather Giuseppe bought it in 1964; commercial bottling began with Rosso di Montalcino in 1987 and Brunello in 1988. Fabio Giannetti has run the small family estate since 1998, producing around 18,000 bottles a year from about 7 hectares.
