About Fattoria La Lecciaia
Purchased by Mr Mauro Pacini in 1983, Fattoria la Lecciaia is an enchanting property of 60 hectares, surrounded by the vineyards of some of the oldest and most renowned estates of Montalcino.
The estate has 15 hectares of vineyards, of which 12 are registered for the production of Brunello di Montalcino. The rest of the property is under olives groves and woodlands.
The unique terroir of this small but world famous micro-area in the appellation of Montalcino, naturally enhances the scents and the elegance of Sangiovese grapes, allowing Fattoria la Lecciaia to produce the most quintessential “Brunello di Montalcino” wines: classic and intense, suited for long ageing.
The estate’s wine-cellars are located in Montalcino and Campagnatico and have been recently enlarged and modernized . They are now equipped with the best installations, allowing for the most respectful winemaking techniques thus preserving the quality produced in the vineyards.
The buildings cover a surface of over 6,000 square meters, with a yearly winemaking capacity of 400 tons of grapes and a total cellar capacity of 15,000 hl of wine.
The buildings were constructed paying particular attention to the environmental impact, scrupulously observing the laws against pollution and recalling the traditional architectural style of Montalcino.
