Pairings
The San Filippo estate is actually a small hamlet. The main farmhouse, which also comprises a small chapel that is still consecrated, dates to 1672, as proved by various documents that are still conserved in the parish archives of Montalcino.
The villa and the wine-growing estate, recently purchased by the present owner, have been completely renovated. The severity of the classic Tuscan farmhouse has been reinterpreted, without distorting its traditional restraint, to meet the requirements of modern quality lifestyles. San Filippo is a welcoming place, where guests can enjoy a charm and simplicity that is still entirely genuine. Read more
