The light is fading fast but before we go and look at the vineyard, Francesco Illy needs to drink an espresso.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-winemaker.jpg\" alt=\"Francesco Illy Winemaker in Montalcino\" class=\"wp-image-654\" width=\"1000\" height=\"NaN\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-winemaker.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-winemaker-280x188.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-winemaker-600x403.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-winemaker-250x168.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-winemaker-120x81.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It will only take 15 seconds.&#8221; We follow the shaggy grandson of the Francesco Illy who in 1933 founded Illy caff\u00e9, into the kitchen of his Tuscan house and watch as he selects one of a battery of five different machines \u2013 &#8220;Yes, I use them all but this one\u2019s faster.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re in Montalcino in the week of the release of the 2011 Brunellos, and Illy has just held the official opening of his new cellar. It\u2019s a beautiful snail-shell-like construction that was made by laying 750,000 bricks, echoes the Pantheon in Rome and uses the proportions of the golden mean, a ratio that dates back at least to Pythagoras and is believed to underpin the structure both of ferns and financial markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trieste-raised Italian, who now works for the family business in Switzerland, bought the Podere le Ripi estate here in 1998. From the building of the cellar to the planting of the vines, he has been doing things differently from the locals ever since. And the story of how he came to be here is unusual, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/podere-le-ripi-winery-in-montalcino-golden-cellar-700x522.jpg\" alt=\"The Golden Cellar at Podere Le Ripi Winery in Montalcino\" class=\"wp-image-658\" height=\"NaN\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podere-le-ripi-winery-in-montalcino-golden-cellar-700x522.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podere-le-ripi-winery-in-montalcino-golden-cellar-280x209.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podere-le-ripi-winery-in-montalcino-golden-cellar-600x447.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podere-le-ripi-winery-in-montalcino-golden-cellar-250x186.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podere-le-ripi-winery-in-montalcino-golden-cellar-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podere-le-ripi-winery-in-montalcino-golden-cellar-120x89.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podere-le-ripi-winery-in-montalcino-golden-cellar.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>The winery was built using the golden mean principle, which appears in ancient structures such as Stonehenge and the Pyramids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It seems like I was born with a weak liver so when I was 18, the doctor said, &#8216;You must drink some spa water&#8217;. I was going to Boio, which is a pretty ugly place, then he sent me near here.&#8221; So let\u2019s get this straight: man with weak liver comes to Tuscany for a cure, and decides to make wine?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Oh, I wasn\u2019t worried about my liver, and it didn\u2019t happen like that. I love nature and I fell in love with Tuscany and made friends.&#8221; He kept returning, and eventually decided he wanted a house of his own. The search for a podere [a country estate with a farmhouse] eventually led him here, to the south of the hilltop village of Montalcino where, next to the Mastrojanni wine estate, he found 54 hectares of land, not a single vine, a house, and a Sardinian shepherd asleep under an oak tree.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once here it seemed ridiculous not to plant vines, so he did, but with the express intention of selling the grapes to other producers. &#8220;I thought I was too old to learn how to make wine.&#8221; But not doing things properly is not really the Illy style. &#8220;Francesco often says we will do something, and it seems impossible to me, but six or 12 months later I find it\u2019s happening,&#8221; says his bright young oenologist, Sebastian Nasello.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/francesco-illy-vinedresser-700x522.png\" alt=\"Francesco Illy Vinedresser in Montalcino\" class=\"wp-image-652\" height=\"NaN\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-vinedresser-700x522.png 700w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-vinedresser-280x209.png 280w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-vinedresser-600x447.png 600w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-vinedresser-250x186.png 250w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-vinedresser-768x572.png 768w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-vinedresser-120x89.png 120w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/francesco-illy-vinedresser.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>Illy in a vineyard where he is experimenting with permaculture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2003, a super-hot year throughout Europe, when many of his grapes were so raisined as to be unsaleable, Illy decided to have a bash at vinifying them himself, producing a small quantity \u2013 just two barrels \u2013 of &#8220;extremely good&#8221; sweet wine. &#8220;This kind of made me a winemaker, because the attraction was very strong to the vertical experience of preparing the soil, growing the grapes, making and then finally drinking the wine. It brings you into a rapport with the land.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was the turning point, but Illy had already been very hands-on with the viticulture. Planting vines at higher density (in terms of the number of plants per hectare) is already fashionable among producers of higher quality wine. Illy got the idea from a visit to Burgundy where he was told he\u2019d have to wait 35 years before the vines produced decent wine. &#8220;I asked myself, shall I wait until I\u2019m 90?&#8221; and began to increase the density of his own plantings. &#8220;It obliges the roots to go deeper, more quickly, which means they get the benefit of the minerals in different geological layers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course he took the concept of planting at higher density further than anyone else. At Podere le Ripi there are a few small areas planted with a crazy 62,500 vines per hectare. No one in the world has planted so many vines so close together \u2013 Illy took out an advertisement in The Wine Spectator, challenging anyone who had to speak up. He calls them his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/it\/vigna-bonsai\/\">bonsai vines<\/a>. The vineyard workers hate them and are desperate to pull them out. Who wants to look after vines planted so close you have to contort yourself to prune and treat? But Illy is adamant \u2013 and the bonsai vines are used to make his most expensive wine.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illy is a highly energised, visionary, tree-loving hippy at heart. He works according to the principles of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/it\/cantina-biodinamica-montalcino\/\">biodynamics<\/a> \u2013 think organic, but also take into account the movements of the celestial bodies.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I wanted to do everything organically because it doesn\u2019t put any poison in the soil \u2013 or in you. Also, biodynamics creates jobs because it is more labour intensive. It also sequestrates about four tons a year of carbon dioxide, whereas conventional farming puts about the same amount back into the atmosphere.&#8221; Is he so ecologically-minded in the rest of his life? I ask, as we sit in his gigantic car outside the agriturismo where I am staying. &#8220;I try to be, except the car, I live in this, many hours. But I have also planted 10,000 trees in Egypt.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The design of the new cellar was inspired by Illy\u2019s desire to make and mature wine in completely harmonious surroundings. A visit to the crypt underneath the Chiesa del Ges\u00f9 in nearby Montepulciano provided the inspiration for an inner dome, which echoes the Pantheon, and whose acoustics are able to magnify a feeble whisper to a resonant proclamation. Illy designed it with the help of his architect-trained son Ernesto (who also works for the family coffee firm) but it was the original architect who worked on the project who suggested utilising the golden mean. &#8220;You can find this concept in many, many things \u2013 in Stonehenge and the Pyramids, old Roman and Greek construction.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cellar also has a built-in sundial \u2013 a hole through which a shaft of light will fall every day when the sun is at its zenith. On average it means that sun will strike stone at noon and 13 minutes and 14 seconds. It is built in continuous descent \u2013 there are almost no flat floors until you reach the bottom, just a gently descending spiral passageway. A further peculiarity is that Illy was insistent that the construction contain no steel girders or metal bottle-storage cases, on the grounds that, &#8220;metal creates a Faraday cage and this creates very weak electricity and a very weak magnetic field. I asked a doctor if doing this&#8221; \u2013 he touches a leg very gently with his fingertip \u2013 &#8220;continuously for five years would hurt and he said, &#8216;Well it\u2019s going to give you an injury.&#8217; It\u2019s the same with the wine.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illy is ambitious for his wines. At her own estate, his girlfriend, Stella di Campalto, makes some of the best in Montalcino but his wine role models are further afield: he cites Guigal from the Rh\u00f4ne and talks a lot about Vega Sicilia, the Spanish icon from Ribera del Duero. Now those are big wines: Vega Sicilia\u2019s Unico sees a lot of oak and long ageing before its release. Illy says that he wants to release <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/it\/vini-montalcino\/\">his wines<\/a> ever later, and certainly later than is traditional in Montalcino, where Brunello is released more than four years after the harvest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/inside-the-golde-cellar-podere-le-ripi-700x936.jpg\" alt=\"Inside the Golden Cellar in Podere Le Ripi Montalcino\" class=\"wp-image-656\" height=\"NaN\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inside-the-golde-cellar-podere-le-ripi-700x936.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inside-the-golde-cellar-podere-le-ripi-280x375.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inside-the-golde-cellar-podere-le-ripi-600x803.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inside-the-golde-cellar-podere-le-ripi-250x334.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inside-the-golde-cellar-podere-le-ripi-768x1027.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inside-the-golde-cellar-podere-le-ripi-120x161.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.podereleripi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inside-the-golde-cellar-podere-le-ripi.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>It has a built in sundial, through which a shaft of light falls every day when the sun is at its zenith.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Podere le Ripi wines are big and warm with soft tannins and high alcohol. My least favourite was the most expensive: the Bonsai (the 2010 retails at \u00a3130 a bottle). It smells of russet leaves and fruits and overwhelmingly of oak spice; the Vega Sicilia influence is certainly evident here, in the concentration and also the flavour. The strong, bear-hug flavours have wiped out some of the beautiful sangiovese texture, though it\u2019s still a satisfying drink, rather like a blood transfusion.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price of all the wines is also ambitious, and my favourite was the most lowly (around \u00a330.95), made with local grapes: the Amore e Magia Rosso di Montalcino from the stellar 2010 vintage. It is a Brunello in all but name: &#8220;We age it like a Brunello,&#8221; says Sebastian Nasello. The 2010 is big, warm and comforting, with explosive flavours. The 2011 that will follow is sweeter, warmer and stronger (15%).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There\u2019s nothing like being responsible for a finished product that puts a smile on your face while you drink it,&#8221; says Illy. &#8220;I remember the first time I saw someone enjoying my wine in a restaurant \u2013 they had such a satisfied expression. I will never forget it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Credits: The Telegraph Luxury<\/em><em>Article by: Victoria Moore<\/em><em>Pictures: Andy
