OriginsThe Lambardi Canalicchio di Sotto estate produced its first Brunello vintage in 1978, but the presence of vines in the homestead were already indicated in the Leopoldino land register of 1835. This small producer of Brunello is located on the north eastern side of the Montalcino hills in the ideal cradle of the historical wine; indeed the estate confines with the land which once belonged to the Biondi Santi family.

ConsortiumThe year 1967, just after the DOC recognition, was an important year for Brunello: a small group of producers decided to protect their wine and founded the "Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino". My father was one of them: farsighted in his thoughts that this wine would become an Italian excellence and as such would have to be regulated and protected.

Lambardi Family“Canalicchio di Sotto” estate was purchased by the Lambardi family in 1965, the property already included a small plot of wanton vines; this was how the idea of creating a vineyard came about and in 1973 the first Brunello di Montalcino (1978) came out in 500 bottles from a small 4 Hl barrel and the tiny wine cellar which included only a small room under the house.

The EstateToday the Lambardi estate has 6.5 hectares of vines almost entirely dedicated to Brunello di Montalcino docg, a new wine cellar and produces 12,000 bottles of Brunello di M., Rosso di M., a red wine and Sant’Antimo Bianco.
