Tre Contrade is a rising estate in Montalcino producing expressive, site-driven Sangiovese from sustainably farmed vineyards. Their Rosso di Montalcino offers an early glimpse into the vintage and house style—crafted for freshness, immediacy, and pure varietal character while the Brunello rests in the cellar. With a focus on minimal intervention and traditional techniques, Tre Contrade delivers classic Tuscan energy with finesse and drinkability.
-
PROPRIETORS: Romano Chietti and Maria Grazia Salvioni
-
FARMING: Sustainable
-
VARIETY: 100% Sangiovese
-
TERROIR: Vineyards sit at 320 meters above sea level on a mix of clay and sand soils; vine age averages 20–25 years.
-
VINIFICATION: Fermentation in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal purity.
-
AGING: Aged 1 year in large Slavonian oak casks.
-
TASTING NOTES: Tart red cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry leap from the glass. The palate is crisp and energetic, with a zippy acidity and clean finish that makes it incredibly drinkable.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: A natural match for trippa alla fiorentina, but equally at home with tomato-based pastas, grilled sausages, or Pecorino Toscano.
