Fattoi Ofelio
A life and a passion devoted to agriculture. A life that has its roots in a strong and generous territory, the territory of Montalcino.
A life that the Fattoi family has always dedicated with absolute self-denial, enthusiasm and professionalism, to the production of wine and olive oil that have made Montalcino famous world-wide.
The products of this territory achieve notable organoleptic qualities which are of extremely high importance to the end product.
The winery is found in the southern area of the Comune of Montalcino, in one of its most scenic valleys and at the junction of the Ombrone and Orcia rivers.
Toscana
The name of Tuscany is synonymous with its most famous, and probably Italy’s most famous, red wine. Chianti is produced in high volumes and exported worldwide, with a distinctive personality that is difficult to define but that has somehow impressed consumers all over the world. The Sangiovese grape is the key to the region’s success, as the backbone of DOCG wines in Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Carmignano. Yet the region’s prestige is today further enhanced by the evolution of the “Super Tuscan”, wines that now rank among some of Italy’s most refined. Failing to slot into any existing DOC or DOCG category, they are now largely classed as Toscana IGT in order to avoid the humble Vino da Tavola category.
