La Magia Wines of Montalcino:

La Magia is an organic estate winery in the Montalcino region of Tuscany, Italy. La Magia was founded in 1974 when its original owners planted the vineyard. In 1979 the founder owners sold to Harald Schwarz and his wife Gabriella Zeitler, and Harald Schwarz’s father. They left Merano in their native Südtirol Alto Adige to settle here. At that time, in Montalcino, there were around 150 grape growers, but only 20 were bottling their wine. The Schwarz family knew nothing about winemaking but loved Montalcino as a place and saw its only partially tapped potential for Brunello.

Fabian Schwarz told me ‘Brunello already was a niche wine in Italy, but not just Italy. It was also a niche internationally. In the big wine markets at that time, like the UK market, or the German market, Brunello was considered one of the quality wines of Italy. There was Brunello, Barolo, and Amarone. That was it. Chianti was not, at that time, considered a quality wine.’
