Our Thoughts on this wine.....

Brunello is one of the three King B's of Italy along with Barolo and Barbaresco, this luscious Sangiovese Grosso will show you true regal bearing! Aromatically gorgeous with an inky red color, aromas of blackberries, blueberries, anise flowers and sweet black licorice translate beautifully on the palate.
Full body, with soft and silky tannins and plenty of fruit, wonderful length and balance to its finish as well. Perfect with a grilled veal chop and crisp polenta!

Some History of Fattorie Scopone.....

The story of Scopone begins in the nineteenth century when the farm was the residence of several families of farmers who worked the lands of the Property.

During World War II, Scopone became a refuge for evacuated people and even today the elders of the village of Montalcino fondly remember the place that hosted them in one of the darkest moments of the History of our Country. After the war, there have been several owners until 1992, when the Genazzani family, looking for a house in the countryside, acquired the farmhouse and grounds (40 hectares).

In 1993 the legendary Settimio Dinetti, who was born and raised among the vineyards of Montalcino, and caretaker of the Property, made ??with hands (and feet!) some young wine from the only one old vineyard that Scopone had at the time,  and offered a 50 liter demijohn to the  Genazzani family. That simple wine was so good  that during a dinner with a group of friends, the 50 liters disappeared in a flash. Thus was born the idea of transforming Scopone in a winery.

 The Genazzani spouses rearranged the old vineyard and in 1997  the first vintage took place : a great success! The oenologist Giacomo Tachis, longtime friend of the Genazzani family, saw great potential in that simple wine  and following his advice, Scopone was born. In the years  new vineyards and a winery have been built  in order to follow  the whole process of winemaking and aging closely. Today, still,  the winery is run with passion and love by the family, first and foremost by Theresia, assisted by her husband  Andrea and their children Vanni, David, Nurit and Sarah.

The name “Scopone” is the original name of the Property, which was so named by locals because of the thick “Scopi” bushes that inhabit its 20 hectares of forest which were used to produce brooms, “scope” in Italian.
