Pietroso is a family owned winery operated by Gianni Pignattai and his wife Cecilia located on the southern slopes of Montalcino at about 400 metres. Ideally situated with viticulture references dating back to the 14th century it is now one of the pre-eminent producers of Brunello di Montalcino. Ian D’Agata from Vinous says “I can’t think of a single Montalcino estate that has improved more over the last 15 years than Pietroso” The Montosoli wine is made from a single vineyard on the famous Montosoli hill of Montalcino
Dark deep colour. Slightly brooding. Dark cherry with balanced tannins and acidity. Long finish. Deep and elegant.

Pietroso sits just outside the walls of Montalcino, on stony ground where vines have grown since 1363. The modern estate was started in the 1970s by Domenico 'Delfo' Berni and is run today by his grandson Gianni Pignattai and family, with son Andrea trained in oenology. Around 6.5 hectares of Sangiovese across five parcels — including a plot on the famed Montosoli hill — are worked by hand, fermented with native yeasts and aged in large oak.
