Fonterenza is the name of a very old farm in the small village of Colle in Montalcino currently run by twin sisters, Margherita and Francesca Padovani. They make some seriously refined Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino here; rich, dense and indulgent sangiovese-based wines.
Rosso di Montalcino is a different interpretation of Sangiovese, characterised by a great potential for cellar evolution but aged for a shorter period in wood than the Brunello's (22 months in oak barrels), This preserves the characteristics of rustic youth, fruity exuberance, and distinctive saline and earthy profile that is typical of all Fonterenza Sangiovese. It is mostly from their three plots; Bosco, Alberello and Strada, vinified separately before a final blending.
