Winery Castello di Montepò

The estate brings together the history of Castello di Montepò and the Biondi Santi family’s winemaking tradition, whose roots go back to the 19th century and Ferruccio Biondi Santi. Jacopo Biondi Santi chose Montepò to give this heritage new expression through wines in a contemporary style.

The winemaking philosophy seeks to bring out the interaction between grape and terroir, with an emphasis on quality and consistency of expression. Alongside Sangiovese Grosso BBS 11, the family’s exclusive heritage, the estate also grows international varieties.

The estate is in the Tuscan Maremma, in the Scansano area south of Grosseto. Its vineyards cover about 50 hectares of the property and lie at elevations of 300 to 460 metres. The winery describes the soils as Eocene in origin, with clay and schist components.
