Cantina e Vini

The Bartolini Baldelli family, originally living in Gubbio, in Umbria, since 1080, moved to Cortona (Arezzo) in Tuscany as early as the end of the XII century. Towards 1450, some members of this family moved to Florence where they were admitted to the Florentine citizenship. In 1660, some other members from Cortona moved to Valdarno and here they built the villa in Castello di Montozzi, purchased by Canon Filippo di Francesco Bartolini in 1608. During the XVIII century, various members of the family were awarded the knighthood of St. Stephen and held important public positions in the Grand Ducal Court of de' Medici and of Lorena. In particular, Luigi di Anton Vincenzo (1745-1800), Knight of St. Stephen and Senator, was the personal advisor of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena, who was also the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and King of Hungary and Bohemia.
