Vittorio Fiore

At a Glance - Current role: responsible for winemaking at the estate. - Career history: tied to the same Montalcino property. - Specialty: Brunello di Montalcino and other Sangiovese Grosso wines. - Craft note: the wines are made entirely from the property’s sole planted grape. - Signature work: La Gerla Brunello di Montalcino, made by Alberto Passeri and Vittorio Fiore, has been described as among the most memorable Brunello tasted recently. A one-variety cellar makes differences legible. In Vittorio Fiore’s hands, Sangiovese Grosso is the constant material behind Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, and the estate’s other Sangiovese Grosso wines. The work depends on reading how the same grape can carry depth and aging structure in one expression, more immediate clarity in another, while remaining accountable to the same origin. Staying with one Montalcino property puts pressure on repetition. The craft value is not novelty of address, but the accumulated reading of the same hillsides, the same variety, and the same cellar questions over time. Vittorio Fiore’s role in winemaking sits inside that discipline, where each decision is measured against both Brunello tradition and the character of the wine in front of him. La Gerla Brunello di Montalcino is the clearest named marker of that practice. Made by Alberto Passeri and Vittorio Fiore, it has been described as among the most memorable Brunello tasted recently, a recognition that points to persistence in the glass rather than display.
