A few kilometers from Siena, in the heart of Chianti, lies Tenuta di Montechiaro. A historic winery, a family story handed down through generations. Since 2005, Alessandro Griccioli has carried on the tradition while also creating innovative wines with labels designed by a contemporary Italian artist. Our wines pay homage to our family's history: Anno Domini '345 represents our line of classic wines. In 1345, Grigio was born in Barberino di Val d'Elsa, the founder of the Griccioli family (originally Grigia), who moved to Siena around 1720. Today, the family's properties are all located in the Siena area: Tenuta di Montechiaro and Palazzo Griccioli in the Castello di Monteriggioni. Tenuta di Montechiaro covers an area of 160 hectares, of which 10 hectares are vineyards and about 2000 olive trees. We have embraced the organic philosophy and have been certified since 2010. A commitment that requires greater effort and manual labor but rewards us with beautifully healthy grapes. This is our choice, in line with the goal we pursue: quality. Choosing organic farming, carried out with full respect for nature, allows us to enhance and create wines that express the territory, wines connected to the land where they were made and thus made unique. The Tenuta's winery was built in an 18th-century building located in front of the villa. During the restoration, the original terracotta floors and structure were preserved. Today, alongside the steel vats stand the ancient cement vats, which have undergone complete restoration. Next to the winery is the barrel room, once a stable, and the old Vinsantaia.
