Corney & Barrow 

Enrico Santini, born and bred in the stunning coastal area of Maremma, near Bolgheri, was driven by an ambition to own his own land, an estate which he would be able to run single-handedly. Bolgheri has been instrumental in the Rinascimento which Tuscany has enjoyed over the past 50 years or so. Bolgheri has attracted incomers from all over, inspired by the success of some very big names. Enrico however, is very much his own man. His passion and commitment to his native soil is legendary. He works tirelessly, from before dawn to well beyond dusk, ensuring that his wines accurately translate the estate’s unique combination of land, soil, aspect and microclimate. Enrico and his wife Donatella now own 9 ha, planted at between 70m and 80m above sea-level, lovingly and meticulously tended. Certified organic within Italy, the vineyard is, in fact, farmed biodynamically - fabulous wines.
