Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo is an ancient 18th century village, nestled on the rolling hills of the Marche region, brought back to life thanks to thoughtful and skilful restoration by owner Marainna Brucoli. The Tenuta is a beautiful oasis in the green heart of Montefeltro, between the ancient cities of Urbino and Pesaro.

One of the top 10 most sought after Tuscan wines.

An intense red - floral and dark fruit notes, well-balanced with a ripe and explosive finish. Stunning.

Grapes: Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

The winemaker from Baron Rothschild-Lafite, Christian Le Somme, visits once a month and, by working closely with Alessandro Cellai (from Castellare di Castellina) they are able to maintain the essential Italian character of Tuscany, through the plantings of Sangiovese combined with the power and mid-palate weight of Cabernet and Merlot.

Situated between Gavorrano and Ribolla in the rossetto province in Maremma, the soils have similar characteristics to those of Chianti and Montalcino, but with slightly higher temperatures, so are able to reach maturation earlier compared to those territories further north. The winery was designed by the Shard's architect, Renzo Piano, one of the most admired architects in the world, and named in Time Magazine’s Top 10 most influential people working in the Arts.

It has the biggest barrel room in the world, with only 20% of the winery above ground. The winery runs completely on environmental principles: electricity powered by solar panels and gravity-led production, and the underground barrel cellar allows natural air conditioning and saves energy.

A bright and characterful, fruit-forward, Chianti Riserva from the Uggiano estate south of Florence. Six months ageing in large oak casks gives a nicely mature wine with impressive depth of flavour for this price level.

Eric Guido, October 2022

The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino La Casa has a vivid ruby colour. It shows no decline, with a remarkably fresh bouquet of dusty rose, wild strawberries, rosemary and hints of worn leather. There’s a pleasant inner sweetness that blends with its soft contours and ripe wild berry fruits to create a jovial and energetic character within. The tannins are still slightly grippy and drying, yet this maintains wonderful momentum, finishing with hints of liquorice and balsamic spice. There are many years of positive evolution in store here, yet there’s also no harm in enjoying the 2012 today. While not indicated on the label, La Casa is a high-elevation vineyard on the hill of Montosoli.

Super star super Tuscan!
