After completing his winemaking apprenticeship in Baden, Jan Hendrik Erbach studied viticulture in Geisenheim and embarked on a journey through France. Fate led him to the renowned Montalcino, where he not only fell in love with his wife, Caroline, but also with the unique wine landscape of Tuscany. Their calling became clear—to craft world-class Brunello di Montalcino. The soils, rich in fossils, petrified shells, and weathered limestone, narrate Tuscany's geological diversity. The Erbachs, deeply engaged with their soils, even created their geological and topographical maps. This commitment extends to biodynamic practices, eschewing chemical interventions and nurturing the diverse terroir for exclusive cultivation of Sangiovese grosso, Montalcino's quintessential grape.
