Description
Our Brunello is made by Fattoria La Màgia. Here at this small organic estate, Fabian Schwarz creates terroir-focused wines from Sangiovese grown at high altitudes. This 2017 Brunello is graceful, with a heady nose of black cherries, smoky pepper and dried flowers. On the palate, succulent forest fruits and juicy plums are framed by tight, glossy tannins. It is vividly tangy and fresh with a stony, mineral grip.

La Màgia
The Schwarz family have owned La Màgia since the mid-1970s. Originally from Alto Adige, they were among the first Brunello producers to estate-bottle their wines. This organic estate is farmed by second-generation Fabian; born in Montalcino, he succeeded his father in 2005. He has since redefined the estate’s direction, continuing to realise the potential of this hallowed site. The farm sits high above the Abbey of Sant’Animo – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and faces south-east towards Mount Amiata. The exposure to the cold mountain winds, morning sun exposition and altitude of 400-450 metres provide a cooler microclimate, adding to the freshness, tension and energy in the wines – even in a warm vintage like ’17.
