The 2022 Vintage

The 2022 growing season in Montalcino tested the vines with a hot, dry summer, but crucial late-August rains restored balance just before harvest. This rhythm produced Sangiovese with brilliant concentration and ripe, polished tannins, resulting in a deeply charismatic wine that is immediately engaging and immensely satisfying to open for dinner tonight.

The Fulham Wine Co Take

We champion this Rosso because it delivers the aristocratic structure and wild cherry elegance of a top-tier Montalcino estate - complete with that stunning, iconic label - without demanding a decade in the cellar.


Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona

Housed in a 17th-century palace, Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona is an aristocratic pillar of traditional Montalcino winemaking. Located in the warm, sun-drenched amphitheater of Castelnuovo dell'Abate, the estate's steep, south-facing vines are sheltered by Mount Amiata and cooled by breezes from the nearby Orcia river. Committed to patient maturation in large Slavonian oak casks, they craft profoundly elegant, cellar-worthy Sangiovese that balances dark, savory power with pristine aromatic purity.

Montalcino

Crowned by a medieval hilltop fortress, Montalcino is Tuscany’s warmest and driest terroir, celebrated globally for producing the most powerful expressions of Sangiovese. Here, the local Sangiovese Grosso clone thrives in a rugged, sun-baked landscape shielded by Mount Amiata. This extreme microclimate thickens the grape skins, resulting in wines of formidable structure, deep savory complexity, and breathtaking longevity. Whether a vibrant Rosso or a monumental Brunello, the wines of Montalcino are intensely concentrated and fiercely traditional, rewarding collectors with unparalleled depth and aristocratic grace.
