The farm
 |
Podere Giardino's lands are situated 350 m above the sea level, with south-west exposure, and are really vocated for viticulture and olive-growing.
In 2003 we planted a small vineyard (5000 sq. m) to produce just 2500-3000 bottles of red wines. All our efforts are devoted to quality. It's essential for us to bring out all the best from our vineyard into our wines. All our products come from Sangiovese grapes only. They are Toscana Rosso IGT, Rosso di Montalcino DOC and Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. To complete our production, Podere Giardino has also olive trees (varieties: Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo), producing about 300 kg of olive oil. |
| "Le Tracce" is the name of all our wines. It is inspired by the traces ("tracce") left by the Romans and the Etruscans, paying tribute to these ancient cultures. If you like, you can visit us to better understand what we exactly mean... The vineyard is young but has already given well structured wines with interesting varietal aromas. Presently our wines on sale are “Le Tracce” IGT (vintage 2008) and Rosso di Montalcino DOC (vintages 2007 and 2008). This is also our first year for Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. Vintage 2006 is finally ready after the mandatory five years from the harvest. |
