Coming Up
At Cantina San Guglielmo in Montalcino, the work is organized around Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino, with Ilaria Martini overseeing an approach that keeps the cellar process controlled from start to finish. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, then the wines move into medium-size French and Slovenian oak casks with medium-light toast. The method is built for precision: each stage is set to support structure, timing, and the grape’s own character.
Where They Are Now
Ownership at Cantina San Guglielmo places Ilaria Martini inside the daily decisions that shape the estate’s expression in Montalcino. The work is tied to place as much as to process, with the hill town’s expectations for Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino setting the frame. In the cellar, temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats keep fermentation measured, while medium-size French and Slovenian oak casks with medium-light toast handle the next phase of aging. The result is a style that relies on control, structure, and patient maturation rather than embellishment.
Signature
Brunello '20 is among Ilaria Martini’s signature wines at Cantina San Guglielmo. It shows the estate’s sequence clearly: fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, then maturation in medium-size French and Slovenian oak casks with medium-light toast. In that sense, the wine reflects the broader discipline of the property in Montalcino, where process is used to preserve definition and let the wine settle into itself over time.
