THE FARM

Located at 365 m a.s.l. on the South-East side of Montalcino, La Palazzetta with 20 hectares of vineyards and 2500 olive trees dominates the magnificent view of the Abbey of Sant'Antimo. The production of Rosso di Montalcino DOC, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Sant'Antimo Rosso DOC and extra-virgin olive oil increase the value of the local area and preserve what comes every year from Nature. Not extremely cold winters, hot summers, rainy and humid springtimes and autumns create in these limestone and rocky lands very fragrant wines with intense colors and pleasant acidity and tannins. The natural principles of cultivation and production will receive the organic certification starting with the harvest of 2018.

HOW DO WE MAKE OUR WINE ?

With an attentive care in the vineyards according to the organic farming method. Following to 30 years of wine making experience, tradition and innovation lead our handpicked grapes to the natural process of vinification. Controlled temperature fermentation, aging in French oak barrels, “lighter bottles”.

In 2016 La Palazzetta was awarded with the “Ecofriendly Cellar Diploma” because of the production of healthy wines for the consumers, the commitment on ecologically sustainable values, the realization of projects aiming to land and vineyards protection and the actuation of energy saving plans.

THE OLIVE MILL

Our olives coming from the five typical tuscan variety of Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, Pendolino and Correggiolo are handpicked before complete maturation and processed in-house the same day.
Cold pressed and natural decantation before bottling maintains the precious characters of a fresh pressed olive juice.
