About the winery · Fattoria La Lecciaia ›
Fattoria La Lecciaia was purchased by Mauro Pacini in 1983 and developed as a modern estate while following the traditions of Brunello di Montalcino. The estate is located at Vallafrico in Montalcino, near long-established Brunello properties. The Consorzio describes the property as 60 hectares, including woods, olive groves and vineyards, with a substantial portion registered for Brunello production. Its Brunello style is presented as classical, Sangiovese-driven and suited for long aging.
