Cortonesi

Before the end of World War II\nThe Cortonesi family already lived on this land in Montalcino before the end of World War II, a period described as difficult for Italy as a whole and for Montalcino in particular.\n\n### Marco Cortonesi\nMarco Cortonesi chose to invest in the land and to believe in progress that seemed impossible at the time, laying the foundations for the estate to thrive. This was made possible by the whole family's lasting commitment to learning about grape growing and winemaking, while looking to the past, remembering their roots and respecting tradition.\n\n### The present generation\nMarco's children now carefully preserve this legacy. For them, family has always been at the heart of every project, just as Marco taught them: a family united not only by name but also by shared values and outlook. Born and raised in Montalcino, they see this land not simply as a place to work, but as their home.

The estate is located in Montalcino. Most of the roughly 8 hectares of vineyards lie in the north of the estate, close to the wine cellar, while the remainder are situated in the south-eastern part of Montalcino.

The winery follows sustainable farming principles. The family maintains a lasting commitment to learning about grape growing and winemaking, while looking to the past, remembering their roots and respecting tradition.

The Cortonesi family combines ongoing learning about winemaking with respect for tradition and their roots. Their approach is guided by a commitment to sustainable practices and by their membership in the Brunello di Montalcino producers' consortium.

The family describes itself as united not only by name but also by shared values and outlook, values instilled by Marco Cortonesi, for whom family stood at the heart of every project. Born and raised in Montalcino, the family sees the land not simply as a place to work but as their home, and states that everything they do is guided by respect for their surroundings. They combine a lasting commitment to learning about grape growing and winemaking with looking to the past, remembering their roots and respecting tradition.
