Stefano Amerighi - winery in Cortona

First, Stefano Amerighi is a hoot! He’s full of energy and passion, and on the inside is a super knowledgeable man with a great consciousness of nature. You could call his kind of agriculture low impact, or biodynamic (which he does certify his wines with), but it’s simply a way to try to work with nature instead of going against it. And at the end of the day, nature responds and delivers beautiful grapes. At that point, it’s a simple process of preserving and turning the grapes into delicious wines. Stefano makes mainly Syrah which Cortona DOC is famous for, but also has some Sangiovese going. Great winery if you love small, unique, boutique.
