The story
Ventolaio is a family-run estate led by the Fanti family: Luigi and Maria Assunta, supported by their sons Baldassarre and Manuele. The estate is located in the locality of the same name along the road from Montalcino to the Abbey of Sant'Antimo, and has built its activity around the cultivation of Sangiovese and the traditional winemaking typical of the area.
Production philosophy
The estate favors traditional methods and the expression of terroir and vintages: it produces wines consistent with its declared organic practices and ages the Brunello in large oak casks, aiming to achieve wines that are genuine and faithful to the character of the vineyard.
