In 1965, Fulvio and Renata Marcucci purchased 13 hectares of land near Tavernelle. To begin with the property was composed entirely of grain crops and woods.
A passion for agriculture and a strong belief in the potential of the land and microclimate which was soon to be rewarded, formed the basis of Fulvio and Renata's decision to invest their resources and energy in the production of wine and oil. They transformed the property, gradually substituting the grain crops with specialized vineyards and olive groves.
In the 1970s they planted the olive grove. 1971 witnessed the completion of the first vineyard, known as "Vigna dei Meli." The other two vineyards also use the same clone. In 1974 the first San Carlo Brunello di Montalcino was produced from the grapes harvested from Vigna dei Meli.
Four years later, in 1975, the second vineyard, Vigna del Picchio was planted. In 2000 the youngest vineyard was planted, Vigna della Sorgente, with the vine distribution.

The San Carlo estate is a family run winery that has so far witnessed the dedication of three generations that, while supervising various expansions and developments over the years, have never lost sight of the traditions of this area. San Carlo continues to guarantee the excellent quality and high value of its products. Grapes are carefully selected and controlled throughout the entire growth cycle thanks to rigorous and attentive work in the vineyards. The same care goes into the wine-making, sales and the relationship with clients and the final consumer.

In 1999 Fulvio and Renata's son, Giancarlo, became directly involved in the management of the estate and in 2005 he was joined in this enterprise by his daughter Gemma.
