Pietramora

Tenuta Pietramora di Colle Fagiano is in the commune of Scansano, in the Maremma, in southwestern Tuscany. Once a swampland that harbored malarial mosquitoes, Mussolini drained the Maremma in the 1930s. Today the Maremma is one of the fastest-growing wine producing areas in Italy. Tenuta Pietramora was established there in 1999 when three business partners from Naples acquired the vineyard estate and replanted 28 acres of the 125-acre property to Sangiovese, which in the area of Scansano is called Morellino. The estate is 300 meters above sea level and the vineyards are certified organic. Pietro Russo is the winemaker and estate administrator, and his business partners and co-owners are Giovanna Pietrillo and Silvia da Maggio. The debut vintage was the 2003 bottling. Wines bearing the Morellino di Scansano DOCG must be at least 85% Sangiovese. Tenuta Pietramora’s Brumaio, however, is 100% Sangiovese. Decanter has complimented Tenuta Pietramora for making “benchmark Morellino.”
