La Fiorita is owned by American-born Natalie Oliveros whose Calabrese Nonna exposed her at an early age to basement winemaking. Following a successful career in adult entertainment, she became owner of this winery. In the early 2000s, her basement training came in handy when she began collaborating with the winery’s then-co-owner Roberto Cipreso on a series of Italian wines. She’s now the primary owner of La Fiorita and, along with the talented winemaker Vincenzo Pirrone, is raising the already respected reputation and quality of La Fiorita, shifting the vineyards toward organic viticulture and modernizing the cellars with the addition of a two-level gravity-fed cantina.

La Fiorita does not craft this iconic Brunello every year, this wine is only produced on the TOP vintages (like 2019). This stunning wine is produced from the best grapes from just one of the winery’s four vineyards called Pian Bossolino. 

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