Podere Brizio

Despite the winery’s relatively recent founding, Podere Brizio vaunts historical provenance, as displayed on the labels depicting the old Parpagliola coin. Minted in 1556, towards the end of the Great Wars of Italy, this coin symbolized the Siena Republic in the year when 600 or so local noble families sought refuge in Montalcino Fortress in order to keep the republic alive. The piece of silver stood for the resistance, determination and fortitude of a place whose history resembles an epic novel.

The idyllic hilltop of Podere Brizio is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards that face in a southwesterly direction, towards the coast. On clear days, the sea can be glimpsed from the farmhouse windows, beyond the olive grove and past the copse. Oak trees also stand tall in the grounds around the Foresteria, proud and timeworn with their crooked branches and knotted trunks.
