This isn’t your average Brunello—this is the wine that marks a new era in Montalcino. It’s 100% Sangiovese Grosso from the Southern hills of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, grown on vines aged between 12 and 35 years. The soils are clay and galestro—pure, unadulterated Tuscan magic.

Aged to perfection—three years in massive oak botte, then an additional year in bottle—this is a Brunello with layers, depth, and soul. Fermented in Slovenian oak vats, then aged in French oak (30% new), it’s the epitome of what happens when old-world tradition meets modern, high-tech winemaking.

La Fiorita is owned by the legendary Natalie Oliveros (formerly of the entertainment world) and Louis Camilleri, the former CEO of Ferrari. This winery is a playground for the elite, and it’s no wonder—the winemaking philosophy here is nothing short of perfection. Together with winemaker Roberto Cipresso, they’ve transformed La Fiorita into a symbol of excellence. Think of it like this: if Ferrari and Brunello had a baby, it would be La Fiorita. They don’t cut corners. They push boundaries. And it shows.

With only 40,000 bottles produced annually, this wine isn’t just rare—it’s exclusive. La Fiorita doesn’t craft a wine every year. This is made from the best fruit of the best vintages, harvested only when the conditions are perfect. This wine is THE choice for collectors, connoisseurs, and anyone who knows that when it comes to Brunello, you don’t settle for less.

Aging: 24 months in Slovenian oak cask, 4 months in steel before bottling, 18th months in the bottle before release.

100% Sangiovese. A savory, nearly salty undertone that wraps around rich red fruits like a velvet cloak. The tannins are smoother than you’d expect for a wine this powerful—refined, silky, and ready to go the distance. It’s bold without being brash, sophisticated yet approachable. Every sip is an invitation to savor the rarefied air of Montalcino.

This has a rich and aromatic nose of hazelnuts, poached plums, orange peel, spearmint and hot chocolate. Full-bodied, with broad and velvety tannins that spread across the palate. Rich and warm, but balanced. Drink after 2024. ~93 James Suckling

Opalescent notes of black prunes, strawberry grapes and roasted chestnuts. Secondarily wet wood, mushrooms and undergrowth but also pressed red flowers and blood orange. Medium to full bodied on the palate, soft tannins and a soft, rounded finale. Better from 2023. ~93 WinesCritic.com

This red falls squarely into the savory camp, with wild herb, Mediterranean scrub and earth aromas and flavors taking precedence over the cherry and red berry fruit. Gruff finish. Best from 2026 through 2043. 1,796 cases made, 218 cases imported. ~92 WIne Spectator

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is pushed by a powerful 15% alcohol content, and this impacts the overall balance of the wine. The bouquet reveals cooked fruit and baked plum and there is a big component of earthy spice, tar, smoke and leather at the back. Thankfully, the wine maintains a fresh, mid-weight texture with silky tannins. ~91 Wine Advocate

La Fiorita is a blend of estate vineyards located in three different sectors of Montalcino with varying soils, exposures and altitudes. After fermentation in cement, it matures in French oak casks of 26 and 37hl. Vanilla and incense accent ripe strawberry and cherry scents, and soft, plump fruit fills the mouth while supple tannins give much needed shape and balance. While immediately pleasing, it tightens up on the finish and has both the body and structure for gratification over the next six to seven years. ~90 Decanter

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is darkly floral yet understated, with hints of oriental spice, rosemary and dried strawberries evolving in the glass. This is elegant and rich on the palate, with masses of ripe wild berry fruit and savory herbal tones that penetrate deeper and deeper with each sip. The result is one of youthful tension, as the 2018 leaves a tart concentration and sinewy tannins offset by a twang of sour citrus and a bitter dusting of cocoa. ~90 Vinous Media
