Sant'Antimo
Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Recognized since 2004 within the single Tuscan municipality of Montalcino, the Sant'Antimo DOC provides a distinct regulatory alternative to its famous neighbours. Unlike most Italian denominations that mandate strict varietal formulas, Sant'Antimo does not specify grape percentages for its base Rosso and Bianco styles, allowing winemakers to use any authorized Tuscan grapes without a fixed blend. This flexible designation also serves as a safety valve, permitting registered Brunello di Montalcino vineyards to declassify their fruit into Sant'Antimo Rosso. Under the oversight of the local consortium, these wines must respect a maximum yield of 9.0 tonnes per hectare, delivering a sapid and harmonious profile.
