Producer Information

Tenuta Fanti is an Italian wine producer located in the Tuscan town of Montalcino. The expansive San Filippo Estate has been owned by the Fanti family since the 18th Century and has been run by Filippo Fanti since the early 1970s. Here Tenuta Fanti produces Brunello di Montalcino and Toscana IGT wines from a host of local and international varieties including Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Viogner, Malvasia, Vermentino, and Trebbiano. The estate spans 300 hectares (741 acres) planted to some 50ha (124 acres) of vines, 80 percent of which are Sangiovese. The soils are primarily composed of galestro, or marl, and vines are planted to face south for maximum sun exposure. The estate produces a host of classic Tuscan wines including Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, Super Tuscan blends, Vin Santo Sant’Antimo, and the distilled grape spirit, Grappa di Brunello. Tenuta Fanti’s top designated wine is Vigna le Marcchiarelle, a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva produced from the estate’s oldest vineyard. The wine is produced with Sangiovese from vines that average 35 years old, planted to less than 3ha (7 acres) of the estate. The grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks before aging in oak barrels, a portion in French oak tonneaux and a part in cask, for a minimum of 24 months. The wine then ages an additional six months in bottle before release.
