Castello di Monsanto, located in the heart of Chianti Classico in Barberino Tavarnelle, Tuscany, is a historic family-owned winery renowned for its dedication to tradition and innovation.

The estate spans 72 hectares of vineyards, perched at 250-310 meters above sea level on galestro-rich soils. Known for its structured and elegant wines, Castello di Monsanto combines traditional techniques like large oak cask aging with meticulous vineyard care, producing world-class wines that reflect the essence of the Chianti Classico terroir.
