In 1971, current winemaker Olimpia Roberti and her Roman family purchased a country home, Le Bertille, in Montepulciano. The farm included a small vineyard which was tended by Olimpia's father Saverio, and used to produce wine for the house and friends. Olimpia left the Tuscan countryside to pursue a career in international law, but in 2001 returned to dedicate herself to making wine. At that time, a nearby property, the Casella Farm, was purchased. The Casella farmhouse was restored and the vineyards were replanted. In 2004, the San Gallo agriturismo was opened. In 2006, the first Vino Nobile di Montepulciano - from the 2003 harvest - was botteled. Today, Olumpia manages this traditionally minded estate, along with her sister.
