Est. delivery in autumn, 2026

Brunello di Montalcino Ofelio from Patrizia Cencioni is a focused, terroir-driven expression of Sangiovese, named in tribute to Patrizia’s father and produced only from the estate’s best fruit.

The vineyards lie in the south-east of Montalcino, at higher altitude, where galestro clay mixed with volcanic material brings natural freshness, firm structure and aromatic lift. Farming is hands-on and precise, with low yields, manual harvesting and fermentations carried out with indigenous yeasts to preserve purity and site character. Ageing takes place primarily in large oak casks, allowing the wine to develop complexity without masking its origins.

This female star-studded cast of winemakers is an admirable family-run operation that dates back to 1989 when life force of the estate, Patrizia, decided she wanted to make Brunello. What was once a deteriorating property is now a winery buzzing with life and passion.
