Padelletti
About Padelletti
One of the oldest wineries in Montalcino (and the only winery located in the city centre), Padelleti has been producing wines since 1571 and have also made important contributions to the development of Brunello di Montalcino. They played an instrumental role in building the foundations of the Montalcino wine cooperative (directed and co-founded by Biondi-Santi) just before the 1920s, and also founded the Producer’s Association in the 1960s to protect the wines of Montalcino. From their 6 hectares of vineyard under the Brunello di Montalcino appellation, less than 10,000 bottles are produced annually.
“Padelletti is one of the oldest winemaking families in Montalcino, and they proudly propose a very traditional interpretation of the Sangiovese grape.” (Monica Larner, WA, 30 Jun 2018)

Sitting just below the town of Montalcino, Padelletti's six hectares are northeast-facing on clay soil rich in sandstone and limestone. The estate offers elegant yet profound wines epitomised by the 2016 vintage. It opens gradually with scents of violet, lilac, truffle and liquorice. Midweight and fluid, with finessed but firm tannins and brisk acidity, this finishes long with savoury tea notes. A magnificent reminder that Brunello doesn’t need to be a powerhouse to be ageworthy.Inc. GSTSG$724.24
