Description

The estate is established on four different land parcels but is conducted in an unitary manner by the onwer family even because all the different parcels are within the The story of Tenuta Vitanza begun in 1994 when Rosalba Vitanza and his to be husband Guido Andretta went for a romantic week-end in Montalcino in province of Siena. They were guest of a friend, now a fellow producer, that told them he was trying to sell the original property in Montalcino to buy a bigger place also in the area. At that time they was both living in Rome.

Guido is an Aerospace Engineer and was doing business as Management Consultant with his own company based in United Kingdom and United States. He was Managing Director of a management and training consultancy with full responsibility, with Decision Makers as clients in medium to large size organizations in public and private sectors working in different areas like transportation, pharmaceutical, banking, services, telecommunications, etc.

Rosalba has a Ph.D. in Philosophy and she was doing some teaching jobs at Rome University La Sapienza. As she said she doesn't change much her job because she can use a lot of her philosophical studies in her winemaking techniques even if after everything is done with the help of chemistry that translate the poetry of the wine in the wine itself.

In 1994 so they decide to buy this first property, Podere Renaione, a country house build before 1600, together with 4 acres of vineyard, oliv trees and fruit trees with the idea of doing some wine for them and their friends. Rosalba took full responsibility of the estate and started to getting into winemaking with the help of a Famous consultant enologist of Siena.

The first Brunello di Rosalba was, of course, the year 1995 that was immediately welcomed by critics of the journalistic field and even received 93 points from Wine Spectator important American magazine. That was a really good start and that gave to Rosalba more strength to continue in this new adventure and she decided to focus his studies in philosophy, no more, but everything that could be helpful in understanding its vineyard, its cellar its wine and cooperate actively with the Agronomist and the Enologist.

In 1998 Rosalba is convinced that the best thing to do would be to buy new properties so with Guido decided to enlarge their company reaching some 40 hectares of land and 16 of vineyard is projected to reach an output of 150,000 bottles per year, when all vineyards were in production.

In 1999, Macomb, USA, was born their lovely daughter Emma Sophia Andretta, while Guido had occupied the headquarters of its U.S. business, it certainly gave greater force to the reports, already 'strong, with the United States.

Rosalba in 2002 finally managed to convince Guido to sell its assets and the proceeds invested more in the beginning, the construction of the basement of their new 2,000 square meters and restructuring Podere Belvedere on a beautiful hill Torrenieri, in the vicinity of Montalcino .
