Award-winning Castelli Martinozzi can boast a history dating back to 1373. The property has always cultivated vines and olive groves, even when it was a monastery. In 1892 they won their first prize for wine. Today, they receive many every year. The family-owned estate has 160 hectares of land, with 16 of them planted to vines. These are on a hill, up to 480 metres high, overlooking the Orcia Valley and near the town of Montalcino. It’s a fascinating estate, with carefully conserved evidence of many past activities – silkworm breeding, weaving, an oil mill, and also a granary and a smithy. Today, however, the team are very much focused on producing top quality Brunello. Aged for three years in barrel, this is a red to savour. Decant early.
