Poggio Stenti: A Montecucco Winery Rooted in Family Values and Tradition in the Alta Maremma
The Orcia River runs quietly through the valley, slightly north of Poggio Stenti winery and south of Montalcino, an almost unnoticed border between two wine worlds. On one side, the slopes rise toward Monte Amiata and the perhaps more rural world of the Alta Maremma; on the other, the vineyards of Brunello stretch across the ...

Brunello with Soul: Patrizia Cencioni’s Iconic Wines from Montalcino
The Wining Hour: At this year’s Benvenuto Brunello event, I had the opportunity to taste the highly anticipated 2021 vintage ahead of its official release—an early glimpse into what is already being discussed as a remarkable year for Montalcino. Among the many compelling wines, reconnecting with the portfolio of Azienda Agricola Patrizia Cencioni felt particularly meaningful, especially the standout Ofelio Brunello di Montalcino, which once again commanded attention for its depth and composure. Having visited the estate some time ago, I realized I never fully shared that experience. This recent tasting served as the perfect catalyst to revisit the winery’s story and finally bring that long-overdue reflection to light. Visiting Patrizia Cencioni When I visited the Azienda Agricola Patrizia Cencioni estate in southeastern Montalcino, I learned about a family story that is deeply intertwined with the history of Brunello itself. Though she officially founded her estate in 1989, her roots i

Poggio Severo Arrives: Lisini Expands Its Brunello di Montalcino Legacy
On a summer day back in 2018, I was picked up by Carlo Lisini and, together with a couple of other wine writers, headed to his family winery in Montalcino for a vertical Brunello tasting in style.

A Classic Tuscan Pairing: Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva with Ribollita
Le Mie Cose Preferite , "my favorite things", is the theme of this month's Italian Food, Wine & Tasting group hosted by Camilla . The focus this month is to highlight our favorite Italian wines, along with a pairing or travel tale. Picking a favorite Italian wine is not an easy task for someone like myself . I honestly have so many favorites ! When my hand is twisted, though, I must turn to one of my favorite grapes, Sangiovese. This is a grape produced throughout many of Italy's wine regions, mostly central Italy, but it finds it s true home in the region of Tuscany. Sangiovese throughout Italy With that, Tuscany holds a special place in my heart as it's where I first came to fall in love with the country many moons ago when studying abroad in college. It was a life-changing experience for me, and although I didn't enjoy wine at that time, I have truly come to appreciate the Sangiovese grape and its many
