The story behind it

The maker

Castello di Monsanto was founded in 1962 by Aldo Bianchi and his son Fabrizio, who instantly recognized the world-class potential of these stony Tuscan soils. Today, Fabrizio's daughter Laura Bianchi continues the family legacy, maintaining an unwavering commitment to Sangiovese-driven elegance and long-aging complexity.

How it is made

Crafted at Castello di Monsanto, a historic estate in the Barberino Val d'Elsa region of Chianti Classico. The family winery & vineyard is renowned for introducing the very first single-vineyard Chianti Classico Cru from their famed Il Poggio vineyard.
