Jessica Pellegrini of Fattoria Del Pino is a rising star in Montalcino. Her winery was born in the year 2000, two years after her father Nerio purchased 7 hectares of land in the Montosoli cru. North of Montalcino, Jessica describes her location as “the ocean side.” It is here where you find Altesini, Le Chiuse and many other legends of Brunello.

Nerio purchased the property as an investment in 1998, and it took a few years for Jessica to convince him to turn this land into their own winery! From there they began planting Sangiovese, and in 2010, Nerio (a builder by trade) built a cellar for Jessica to produce her wines in. The cellar is beautiful, but completely bare bones, just as Jessica likes it. There is no tasting room, simply a table where you can stand and enjoy her world class wines.
