La Fiorita, Brunello di Montalcino 2018
$89.00
“This red falls squarely into the savory camp, with wild herb, Mediterranean scrub and earth aromas and flavors taking precedence over the cherry and red berry fruit. Gruff finish. Best from 2026 through 2043.”-92WS
One of five sisters, Natalie Oliveros was born in Northern New York. Although American born and bred, her Calabrese “Nonna” gave an Italian heritage and education to the family, which exposed Natalie – at an early age – to “basement winemaking” with her parents.
In the early 2000s, parallel to her adult entertainment career, she was introduced to Roberto Cipresso, wine consultant and co-owner of La Fiorita. Natalie and Roberto started to collaborate on a series of Italian wines – “Sogno”, which translates as “dream”.
Today, Natalie is the main Owner of La Fiorita Brunello di Montalcino. She leads a team that includes Luigi Peroni, the Estate Manager (disciple of La Fiorita for 20 years), Vincenzo Pirrone, the talented young wine maker, Michele Marini the warehouse Manager and François Colas Marketing Director.
Natalie Oliveros “tailors” wines showcasing various facets of the Sangiovese grape respecting the appellation of Brunello Di Montalcino while revealing the diversity of soils.
