The name "La Melina" pays homage to the apple trees that once flourished on this land, now transformed into thriving vineyards.

About the Winery

Founded in 2002 by Loredana Tanganelli and Antonio Brandi, Scopetone la Melina is nestled on the southwestern slopes of Montalcino, at an altitude of 460 meters. This picturesque location is ideal for cultivating high-quality wines.

The Vineyards and Olive Groves

The estate spans approximately 5.5 hectares, primarily dedicated to the Sangiovese grape, with 1 hectare officially recognized in the Brunello di Montalcino D.O.C.G. registry. Scopetone la Melina produces not only Brunello di Montalcino but also Rosso di Montalcino and I.G.T. Rosso di Toscana, all crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The latter is sourced from the nearby Montecucco region. In addition to wine, the estate features 3 hectares of olive trees, including Leccino, Moraiolo, and Frantoio varieties, which yield premium extra virgin olive oil. A small amount of honey is also produced on-site, adding to the estate's diverse offerings.

Family-run company with niche products; excellent wine, especially the 2018 vintage Brunello! The girl Giada, although very young, welcomes you with great professionalism and immediately puts you at ease. We really enjoyed the tasting where delicious local cured meats and cheeses are served. Thank you very much and... see you next time!!!

Stumbled upon this small family-run business by chance. Giada immediately made us feel at home and let us taste the wines they produced through which we savored the true Tuscan tradition. Everything top.

Best Brunello in the region. We went to the vineyard after tasting one of their excellent Brunello (2016) in a restaurant, a more than warm welcome from the 2 sisters for the tasting. Their wines are fabulous. Many thanks.
