About the Winery:
Il Palazzone was acquired by Americans Kirsten and Peter Kern in June 2021. Kirsten comes from the culinary world and her husband is Vice Chairman and CEO of Expedia Group. The previous owner, also American, was Richard Parsons, formerly of Time Warner and City Group. Kirsten and Peter Kern are passionate about Italian wine and Brunello and had long been looking for a property to buy. They are planting an additional 2.2 hectares of vines this year at a cool 580 meters above sea level. High elevation fruit is critical to maintaining freshness in the wines, especially in the face of climate change.
About the Wine:
The Rosso del Palazzone is a blend of different vintages, so we may not put a year on the label. The wine is produced with Sangiovese grapes and is an authentic expression of Tuscan terroir. Whenever possible, we declassify a portion of our Brunello to be blended with the Vino Rosso barrels to result in greater complexity.
