At the end of the 1800’s, the wine of Abbadia Ardenga was not only sold in various Italian provinces but also abroad.

The winery participated in an interprovincial contest sponsored by the “Kingdom of Italy” and the “Chamber of Commerce and Crafts of Siena” with the 1900 vintage, and earned the third best aged wine award out of one hundred and eighteen competitors.

In 2005, the Brunello di Montalcino 2000 vintage produced exactly one hundred years after the prize-winning 1900 vintage, opened celebrations to mark this important Abbadia Ardenga centennial.
