History
Farmers and winemakers in Montalcino since 1943

The history of my winery goes back to 1943, when my family, the Pieri family, bought Piancornello farm. During the late 1980s, my maternal grandfather passed away and his daughter Silvana (my mother) inherited part of the property, later, his grandchildren received it. Corte dei Venti winery was born in Montalcino southeast area, the sunniest area, where the red lands are, between Sant’Angelo and Castelnuovo dell’Abate.
