We're telling you about their Winery
The twins Margherita and Francesca Padovani run their 4 ha of vines organically. The Sangiovese expresses all its complexity in different forms: the fruit of the Pettirosso, the power of the Rosso di Montalcino and the delicate seriousness of the Brunello. A very old vine of Trebbiano and Malvasia gives a white maceration: Biancospino. A reference of the Italian natural wine, no doubt about it. The Winery "Campi di Fonterenza" is located near the village of Sant' Angelo in Colle south of Montalcino. It is in an old farmhouse, renovated many times over the centuries and known ancestrally for the quality of its water ('fonterenza') that Margherita and Francesca, the "Twins of Brunello", carry out their life project which, if it was first linked to the cultivation of olive trees, was later largely extended into wine-growing. | The first contact of the two Milanese sisters with their future land dates back to 1976, when, as young children, they accompanied their parents on holiday to the old farmhouse of Sant'Angelo in Colle, which was to become, in time, the place of their professional and residential life. While rural life in the area was still very archaic at the time, the twins became very attached to the area and its inhabitants. When they reached adulthood, and while they were studying languages, their low interest in a certain form of city life, and their attachment to the rural life they had known as children, quickly caused them to abandon Milanese life and study for a return to the farm in Montalcino. |
