Winery Overview
“There are no compromises or shortcuts to ensure the purest translation from soil to bottle.” ~ Natalie Oliveros From its foundation in the early nineties, the La Fiorita Estate has always sought to perfect the longevity and aromatic complexity of its Brunello to illustrate the magical harmony between the diverse terroirs, climate and Sangiovese grape - the Star of Montalcino. In 2011, when Natalie Oliveros acquired and took over the Estate, she orchestrated the shift towards organic viticulture. In 2014, she planted Giardinello, which is an addition to the complementarity of soils with this 3rd vineyard on the west part of the mountain. The organic certification was granted in 2019. Parallel to the organization of the vineyard, in early 2018 she started the construction of a new winemaking and cellaring facility which stands on the original site of the La Fiorita Estate. This two-level gravity-fed Cantina – aesthetically designed – was completed in time for the 2019 harvest welcoming all four vineyards. This was the only way to preserve the authentic expression of each soil independently from the others using 16 concrete tanks. Once the wines have aged the proper time in 50hl French and Slavonian oak botte, they are selected by Natalie herself to bring the right harmony into the blends of the La Fiorita Brunello. This new era is now cementing the deep foundation for an exciting future and generations to come.
