Castello
di Monsanto
Chosen by Aldo Bianchi for its view of
his hometown of Poggibonsi, the estate of Castello di Monsanto
also features vineyards with surprisingly low altitudes
and hotter climates than most of Chianti Classico as well
as significant deposits of marine fossils, all very favorable
conditions for viticulture. Aldo’s son Fabrizio recognized
this boon and devoted his boundless energy to the estate,
enthusiastically trying new ideas and tirelessly promoting
the excellent wines he produces. Fabrizio’s most integral
belief is in the character of the land, which he explains
is destined to produce robust, structured wines with great
aging potential. Now running the winery with the help of
his daughter, Laura, and enologist Andrea Giovannini, he
has developed and maintained a reputation as one of the
most consistent and high-quality producers of Chianti Classico
and an innovator who has introduced many developments that
have become regular practice throughout the zone.
