Roberto Giannelli was a real estate agent. A Florentine who had little to do with Brunello – until someone offered him an estate for sale in the east of Montalcino in 2003. He drove there, saw the vineyards, the old walls, the view over the hills. And bought it. This is how the best wine stories sometimes begin: not with a plan, but with a feeling. Today, San Filippo is one of the most reliable houses in the entire Brunello region – organic since 2013, with the Le Lucère-Brunello, which James Suckling once gave a full 100 points.

Lo Scorno is the entry into the house: Sangiovese Grosso from clay-limestone soils between 240 and 310 metres above sea level, fermentation in steel, ten months in barriques, four months in bottle. 2022 was hot and dry – and gave the Sangiovese concentrated fruit with a firm structure. Bright ruby red colour. Nose: macerated cherries, dried cranberries, wild herbs, violets. Juicy, savoury on the palate, with invigorating acidity and a long finish that lingers on herbs and earth. Already a pleasure today. SUPERIORE.DE
