Lazzeretti is in Italy’s Montalcino region, near Sienna. It is owned and operated by the Lazzeretti family, who have been in winemaking for generations. But in 1998 the young Marco Lazzeretti took over the business and added 10 more acres to the estate. He also started bottling under his own name. His limited production wines have earned praise from reviewers including Stephen Tanzer, who gave Marco Lazzeretti’s debut 2001 Brunello di Montalcino 94 pts. Lazzeretti is known for Brunello di Montalcino, but also makes a Rosso di Montalcino and several red blends.
