About the Wine: The harvesting and fermentation processes are extremely delicate, and only the Fanti family manages them—no one else! Sustainable Practices: Natural fertilizer is made from the vegetable waste from the vineyards. The fava beans are planted throughout the vineyard filar, and when they produce flowers, they are removed and incorporated into the soil to supply the plants with minerals. We use orange juice, seaweed, and zeolite cubana soil to prevent diseases. indigeoun fermentations: for the production of wines, we use inert gas rather than sulfites; sulfites are added only during the bottling process without filtration to ensure the wines' long shelf life. cotton labels, lighter-weight bottles, recycled cardboards with natural ink, sugar can caps for igt and doc wines, and green energy in the farm are some of the packaging options.

About the Producer: La Palazzetta is a small family run winery, with 18 hectares of vineyards that are situated on the south-eastern edge of Montalcino in the tiny village of Castelnuovo dell'Abate. Cultivating his wineyards organically, Flavio Fanti is a traditionalist who somewhat straddles the fence. While only utilizing large Slovenian and French oak for his Brunello, he chooses to use various size barrique for his rosso in order to create a wine that is characteristic of Sangiovese Grosso, but incredibly approachable upon release. Flavio and Carla began making wine in 1988 with just one hectare of Sangiovese. Nowadays their children Luca and Tea continue the story that for generations honors the respect and the love for the land.
