Some places are blessed with good fortune. In the case of Fattoria Montecchio, we must have been blessed by Bacchus, God of wine.
Italy has always been a land of wine. It was here, in the south, that the ancient region of Enotria was located. More recently, however, Chianti Classico has without doubt become the wine region with the most intriguing, deep-rooted traditions.
Our bond with the village is so precious that the vineyard around it, used entirely for the cultivation of Sangiovese grapes, which are used in Chianti Classico and Chianti Classico Riserva, is named after it: Vigna San Donato.
The agronomic side of things are just as important, however, supporting the favorable soil and climate conditions in the Chianti Classico area.
Indeed, everything – climate, terrain and altitude – comes together to make the 7,200 hectares of Chianti Classico vines truly unique.
