Grapes from the "Santa Maria" plot, planted by Marino in 1998. A small plot of 1.5 hectares on marly volcanic soils located 500 metres above sea level, they are among the highest plants in the whole of Montalcino!

Sangiovese Grosso 100%, after a strict selection in the field. A wine that will begin to give its best after a few years in the bottle. Now it strikes for its austere and serious side, absolutely elegant with a mineral note that accompanies the drink from start to finish.

From the producer

Podere Sante Marie - Marino Colleoni

Marino Colleoni settled in Montalcino only in 2000, the year of the winery's first harvest, but his partner Luisa bought the house and land in 1989. Only five years later did they discover that vine branches and bunches of grapes were sprouting from the woods, which enabled them to realize what for them was only a dream, to produce wine: after preparing the land respecting the centuries-old terraces held up by dry-stone walls, they planted Sangiovese Grosso, from whose juice they obtained the first Brunello, which they began to market only after five years of aging, in 2005.

The company bought other plots of land in Sant'Antimo, particularly olive groves for the production of extra virgin olive oil. Currently, after a patient work of manual recovery, a consequence of the company's choice to preserve the ancient crop varieties present, the olive grove is' slowly recovering its original vigor producing olives of excellent quality.
