Fabian Schwartz is the second generation of the Schwartz family to run Fattoria La Magia, a 15hA organic estate on some of the best terroir in Montalcino just south-east of the village itself. Vital to the entire operation are Fabian’s wife Bianca Ferretti who is the Chief Administration Officer, Lisa Tinturini, Export Sales Manager and Assistant Winemaker Sofia Calliari. It was easy to see Fabian’s philosophy during a summer 2017 visit to the estate – look after the vines naturally and make the wines with minimum human intervention. The results are complex, characterful, balanced wines that never overbear.
