Brunello di Montalcino since 1874
Origins
Founded in 1874 by lawyer Tito Costanti, one of the first intellectuals who studied and laid the foundations for the fame of Brunello, Pinino is one of the wineries that marked the history of the Brunello di Montalcino Consortium. In 1950, it was actually one of the first wineries registered in the Brunello producers' register, in addition to being among its founders. In 2003, it was acquired by the Austrian Gamon family and the Spanish Hernández family, with the common intent of producing quality wines, and it remained in their hands until the purchase by the Ferragamo family.
The vineyards are located in two different pedoclimatic areas, with very different terroirs and exposures that allow for a refined complexity in Pinino's wines. The historic estate vineyards lie north, in the Montosoli area, facing southeast, and are characterized by a soil rich in skeleton, mainly composed of galestro and alberese. The particular continental microclimate and the favourable characteristics of the soil produce wines with excellent structure, always maintaining good acidity, elegance, and fruitiness. The Canchi vineyards, located northeast with a southeast exposure, feature a mix of predominantly clayish soils with the presence of tuff, which gives power and structure to the wines. The particularly mild climate allows for a slow and progressive good maturation of the Sangiovese Grosso.
Pinino's production philosophy is based on two pillars: the pursuit of a grape production of the highest quality, starting from optimal vineyard management and a rigorous selection of the fruits on the vine, and an efficient management of the winery, where traditional methods of must processing and winemaking are integrated with new vinification techniques.

The Rosso di Montalcino is made from the same grapes for Brunello. During the fermentation, however, this wine has a shorter vesting period and is ready for consumption two years after the harvest. The Rosso di Montalcino is harmonious, elegant and spicy. It can be combined with many foods.

The grape selection of Pinino is strict in order to assure low yield and high wine quality. Harvest is done manually in crates. Fermentation happens in modern and technological steel vats that guarantee a soft treatment of the skins. These techniques, together with the excellence of the raw material allow us to obtain our Grappa of Brunello.
