San Filippo is a family estate on the eastern side of Montalcino, Tuscany, founded in 1972 and counted among the original growers who began bottling Brunello in the late 1970s. The estate farms roughly 11 hectares of vines (within a 22-hectare property) across
four sites — Le Lucére, La Storta, La Raffiche, and La Smarrita — sourcing Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, and Sant'Antimo Rosso entirely from estate fruit.
A significant turning point came in 2003, when Roberto Giannelli, a former Florence real estate agent, acquired the property and invested heavily in the vineyards and winery, driving a marked rise in quality.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina
Classic regional pairing — the char and fat of grilled Chianina beef stand up to Brunello's firm tannin and acidity while echoing the wine's savory, herbal notes.
Braised short ribs with porcini mushrooms
The earthy, umami depth of braised beef and porcini mirrors Sangiovese's dried-herb and forest-floor character, while the wine's acidity cuts through the richness.
Aged Pecorino Toscano with honey
A traditional Tuscan cheese course; the sheep's-milk cheese's salinity and the honey's sweetness balance Brunello's tannic grip.
Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.
Elegant Brunello di Montalcino with dark fruit, cedar, and earthy complexity—a classic Tuscan expression of power and refinement.
San Filippo's 2016 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a structured, age-worthy Tuscan red built on the foundation of Brunello's signature dark plum and black cherry fruit. Cedar and leather notes emerge on the mid-palate, supported by medium-high tannins and a mineral backbone.
Tertiary tobacco and dried-fruit complexity suggest this wine will develop further with bottle age, rewarding patient cellaring with additional layers of earth and spice.
