Col di Lamo

Col di Lamo is a wine company that extends for 80 hectares in the territory of Montalcino, of which a part is cultived with vineyards and Brunello. Col di Lamo produces three wines: Lamo, Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino, and a Brandy made with the wine must. The owner, Giovanna Neri, takes care personally of the gradual growth of the wines produces in her company.

Biondi Santi

The farm, which now comprises 47 hectares of Greppo and 105 of the Pieri, has a cultivated area of ​​specialized vineyards of Sangiovese Grosso of 25 hectares, of which about 5 of older plants (from 1930 to 1972) and 8 hectares of old plants (1988/89) and 6 hectares of recently planted vines (2000/2001) and 6 hectares of very recent plants (from 2004 to 2006).

Too fertile soils are rejected, preferring the marly and rich in texture ones, with exposure to the South, Southeast, East, Northeast and North. The remaining land is cultivated with olive groves, arable land and forests.

The plantation of the very old vineyards is m. 3 x 1.50, to say, 2,222 vines per hectare: that of vineyards planted at the end of the 80s of m. 2.60 x 1.30 x 2 vines for each location, or 5,900 vines per hectare, from the 90s onwards the plantation system has been m. 2.60 x 85, and this means 4,500 vines per hectare.

The system of cultivation is espalier with a horizontal spurred cordon, 25/35,000 buds per hectare. The cultivation of the vineyard are carried out with great care by a highly skilled workforce.

The two most important are: the thinning of the grapes prior to coloring and manual selection of grapes at harvest, devoting to the production of Brunello di Montalcino only the best.

Val delle Corti

When Giorgio Bianchi, in 1974, sold his house in Milan, left his secure job and moved to Val delle Corti, the farm had been abandoned for years. The fields were overgrown with brambles, the dry stone walls of the terraces had collapsed, olive trees had grown wild. His was a risky bet, at a time when going to live in the country was not yet a trend and the future of Chianti Classico was extremely uncertain.



During long years of passionate work, aided by the invaluable advice of the neighbors – farmers for generations – and supported by his indefatigable wife Eli, Giorgio managed to learn the difficult art of viticulture and to revive Val delle Corti, making of it a small farming model. At the passing of George, which took place early in 1999, the company was handed down to his son Roberto and his wife Lis. Today, the four hectares of vineyards – recently re–planted with Sangiovese and other native red grape varieties – are producing Chianti Classico and a Reserve with great typicality, character and finesse. Wine is aged in Slavonian oak barrels in the small but modern winery, while from the two hectares of specialized olive groves, a highly pure extra virgin olive oil with a very low acidity comes. Val delle Corti also produces a small amount of Vin Santo, the traditional dessert wine, and Grappa of Chianti Classico.



Val delle Corti is also hospitality: the "Capanna", the old stone barn recently renovated, welcomes every year visitors from all over the world who wish to regenerate themselves in the beautiful Chianti hills and to discover the pleasure of genuine and high quality products.

Our lands are cultivated with vineyards and olive groves, following the dictates of Organic Farming, and are located in three separate areas of the district of Montalcino, allowing grapes to make wine from three different terroirs:

– 2. Petroso, along the road of Scarnacuoia close to the town of Montalcino, one of the eldest wine–producing areas;

– 3. Castelnuovo dell’Abate, in the south east part of the district, in front of the Monte Amiata.

The company is owned by Riccardo and Jennifer Campinoti who, along with their collaborators, carefully follow each step of the process, to create products of the highest quality in compliance with the territory.

Their main interest is to explore the characteristics of the Sangiovese vineyards, selecting and choosing the soil that make its complexity and attitude to aging stand out in the best way.
