| Fastelli | www.fastellimontalcino.it |   The Fastelli Estate, owned by Mauro Fastelli, is located northwest of Montalcino at approximately 350m. (1135 ft.) above sea level. It was purchased by the Fastelli family in 1965 and
renovated in 1970. Further renovations are currently underway to update and enlarge the vinification and aging cellars. The estate encompasses 6.5 Ha. (16.25 acres) of land. 4.5 Ha. (11.25 acres) are specialized for the production of Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino. 25,000 bottles are produced annually; 18,000 of Brunello and 7,000 of Rosso di Montalcino. The Rosso di Montalcino is produced with the same grapes as the Brunello but aged for only one year. Mauro Fastelli comes from the traditionalist wine-making school. Exclusive use of large slavonian oak is used in developing his wines. While more and more people use small French barrels (barriques), Mauro uses time for his refinement. The result is a wine of deep, muscular and austere structure with beautiful curves and well integrated flavors. |
