About
Fonterenza is an old farmhouse just two kilometres from Sant’Angelo in Colle, a small village perched on the south side of Montalcino. Purchased by our family in 1975, Fonterenza is now the headquarters of our organic winery, directed by us, Francesca and Margherita Padovani.Our first vineyards; “del Bosco” and “Strada,” were planted in 1999. This is the year in which our adventure started. From that day on, we have been tending the vineyards in person. We started as an organic estate before becoming a biodynamic winery.
Our wines are the fruit of the earth in which our vines grow. They are the results of a precise yet delicate combination of climate and human decisions applied in the vineyard and the cellar in order to preserve the particularities of each vintage. As a consequence each wine has its own personality and its own tale to tell.
