Azienda Agricola Cupano is a hidden Italian gem, spanning just 7 hectares, surrounded by woodlands and olive trees. For 30 years, it was brought to prominence by Lionel Cousin and Ornella Tondin, and today, it continues its legacy under Andrea Polidoro.

Inspired by the Burgundian practices of Henri Jayer, the estate embraces biodynamic farming and a winemaking approach that honours the essence of the grape. Located on the western side of Montalcino, its vineyards benefit from sandy, clay, and pebble-rich soils that allow Sangiovese to achieve its fullest expression of flavour.

Since its inaugural vintage in 2000, the estate’s philosophy has remained steadfast: fermentation and ageing on fine lees in Burgundian barrels, the use of indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction, and no filtration.

The result is a delicate, refined style with a distinctly French influence—a hallmark that has made this sought-after estate a favourite among wine connoisseurs.
