This Brunello di Montalcino is a rare and soulful expression from one of the region’s smallest and most traditional estates. Il Paradiso di Manfredi farms just over 2 hectares of organically tended vines north of Montalcino, in a high-altitude site that produces wines of restraint, purity, and striking individuality. Fermentations are long and natural, with extended maceration, followed by ageing in large Slavonian oak casks and further time in bottle before release.

The 2009 vintage shows the estate’s hallmark elegance and structure despite the warmth of the year. It offers complex aromas of dried cherry, plum, leather, forest herbs, and earthy spice. The palate is supple yet firmly framed by fine tannins, carrying layers of red fruit, savoury notes, and mineral depth. A long, resonant finish highlights both the character of Sangiovese and the authenticity of the estate’s traditional methods.

Il Paradiso di Manfredi has a cult following among Brunello lovers, known for its unwavering commitment to classic winemaking and respect for the land. Each release is limited, artisanal, and deeply tied to the family’s philosophy of integrity and patience in the cellar.
