THE HIstory
The motto “At Scopone, everything grows” has always characterized the lands of our estate. Fertile soils intended for precious cultivations and vineyards since ancient times, located at almost 500 meters above sea level in the southeast portion of the appellation. The historical name of the estate recalls the Erica scoparia plants that flourish in the adjoining woods, evidence of an integrated and vital biodiversity.
In the 19th century, the main house served as the first residence for the families of local farmers; later, it became a refuge for evacuees during the Second World War. Since 1996, thanks to Giacomo Tachis, its rare potential has been understood, and in that year, the winemaking business was started.
Since 2021, the Minari family has been managing the estate with dedication. Cristina Minari, in particular, moved here from Bologna to transform Scopone into one of the foremost references for excellence in Montalcino.
