Roberto Cipresso

I know him for many years and admire his way of listening to the land like as a poet and a man holding a divining rod...He understands past wines that no longer exists and future ones that have yet to be made.”

...He is a man ahead of his time, one of the most important winemakers Italy has to offer the world.”

Roberto Cipresso is one of the world's most gifted viticulturalists and winemakers. His passion for wine of soul, character, and above all, terroir, is almost that of a religious zealot. Recognizing that market demands are often at odds with the pursuit of individuality ... he refuses to compromise, and provides an almost spiritual guide to his philosophy of vineyard, wines, and life. It is great honor to welome a gifted and brillant man of the soil to the fellowship of wine writers.”

Robert produces wine without imposing a predefined style. He allows the land to speak and communicate its truth, which is the sign of a great wine.”

Roberto listens to the earth. The three Brunellos he produces in Montalcino have a clear and unmistakable identity.”
