La Lecciaia

La Lecciaia produces Brunello di Montalcino in Tuscany's Montalcino region, where Sangiovese thrives in the rolling hills of central Italy. The winery's portfolio centers on this noble varietal, expressed across three distinct bottlings. The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva represents the top tier, aged longer and built for structure and depth. The standard Brunello di Montalcino offers the core expression of the appellation's character—earthy, tannic, with the mineral backbone Montalcino is known for. Manapetra Brunello di Montalcino rounds out the range. All three have been assessed by major critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff, reflecting the winery's standing within the region's serious producers. Montalcino's elevation and clay-limestone soils demand patience from both vineyard and cellar; Brunello's mandatory aging regimen ensures wines of complexity and aging potential. La Lecciaia's focus on this single varietal and appellation speaks to a commitment to place and tradition within Tuscany's most prestigious Sangiovese territory.
