Brunello di Montalcino
At first there was the
Brunello di Montalcino. I found in the best restaurants the
Brunello di Montalcino Mastrojanni and consumed often. In 1983 I came to Montalcino for the first time and I bought the
Brunello di Montalcino wine in different place. In 1987 I visited Sandro Chia: he also producer of
Brunello di Montalcino. And I met Carlo Vittori made into wine,
Brunello di Montalcino by Sandro. So I'm in love with Charles Montalcino and began to look for me on a farm with the rights of
Brunello di Montalcino to make me as producer of
Brunello di Montalcino. It took ten years because we found Podere Le Ripi, 54 hectares of land with only one recorded in the
Brunello di Montalcino. Wolf & Sirens was born in 2003, my first
Brunello di Montalcino produced at Podere Le Ripi. And in 2008, confining Podere Le Ripi with Mastrojanni, after a long friendship with Andrea Machetti, former producer of
Brunello di Montalcino and responsible Mastrojanni, we purchased with the Illy Group SpA (the holding company of us brothers Illy) the Mastrojanni which is now one of the best known brands of
Brunello di Montalcino.

Today, the
Brunello di Montalcino Back of Donkey Mastrojanni often gets 94 points WAS and Parker and
Brunello di Montalcino Wolves & Sirens Podere Le Ripi obtained with 2004 Weinwisser of 19,5 / 20, an exceptional result for an exceptional wine as
Brunello di Montalcino. This ten-year adventure in Montalcino and in particular with the
Brunello di Montalcino was the most beautiful of my life and continues: we are building a new cellar for
Brunello di Montalcino, Podere Le Ripi that would become the cathedral of wine, with lots of pulpit to preach to
Brunello di Montalcino and refined in our oak barrels. But we are also pursuing the project of Bonsai wine or the vineyard
Brunello di Montalcino densest in the world. With 62,500 plants per hectare this
Brunello di Montalcino comes from vines with deep roots that produce more than 2 meters per plant on average, a cluster: a new innovation in the world of fine wine that was born right here at Podere Le Ripi, in the town of Montalcino under the specification of
Brunello di Montalcino. Today, the
Brunello di Montalcino wine, Podere Le Ripi is a very rare because they produce very little and with the concept Bonsai wine become, I hope, the
Brunello di Montalcino's most wanted in the world. Francesco Illy Winemaker in Montalcino Producer of

So we decided to introduce hand selection for every vintage. We bought a moving table where we empty the cassettes and then six to ten people control every single bunch on all sides and eliminate any possible defect. Some grape berries are wet, other overripe or unripe, other can have, sometimes, a beginning of fouling: with almost twenty eyes watching and controlling we are sure that the bunches that will pass through the destemming machine are all perfect.
