A pair of planet-friendly estates
If you care about saving the planet and drinking eco-friendly wines, these are two local Montalcino estates that could be visited in tandem.
Casa Raia
Casa Raia estate sits on a promontory beneath medieval Montalcino and is committed to biodiversity and respect for the land. The neatly-planted vineyards cover gentle slopes, spilling down to the valley below. The friendly owners produce a fine organic Brunello but also noted olive oil.

Pian Dell’Orino
Framed by cypress-clad hills, close to the Biondi Santi vineyards, this estate is proud of its biodynamic approach to wine-making. Pian dell’Orio is environmentally-friendly without being typically traditional. The estate combines both old-school and high-tech methods to produce top-quality Brunello wine.
