We're telling you about their Winery
| Twins Margherita and Francesca Padovani manage their 4 ha of vines organically. Sangiovese expresses all its complexity in different forms: the fruit of Pettirosso, the power of Rosso di Montalcino and the delicate seriousness of Brunello. A very old vineyard of Trebbiano and Malvasia produces a white maceration wine: Biancospino. A benchmark for natural Italian wine, without a doubt. The Winery "Campi di Fonterenza" is located near the village of Sant' Angelo in Colle, south of Montalcino. Margherita and Francesca, the "Brunello Twins", live in an old farmhouse that has been renovated many times over the centuries, and has long been known for the quality of its water ("fonte"). Their life project, which began with olive growing, has since been extended to winegrowing. | 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. |
