Cantina di Montalcino

About Winery and Wines

Cantina di Montalcino is located in Montalcino, about 35 km far from Siena, just in front of the little medieval town: along the extraordinary path of the Eroica, the winery is surrounded by fields, olive trees and the valuable vineyards of the Val di Cava. It has been the only cooperative winery of the area for more than 40 years and to this day it includes 100 small farms with 395 acres of vineyards, mostly cultivated with the local variety par excellence: Sangiovese grape. The company has been recently restructured, with a modern architectural project in touch with the surrounding landscape; the purpose of the team is producing wine in respect of the customer and the environment thanks to the synergy between technology and tradition. Our quality procedures are recognized and certified according to high standards: ISO 9001 concerning quality, BS OHSAS 18001 concerning job safety, ISO 22000 concerning food hygiene and safety. More than the 50% of the winery extension is located underground: this allows a better control of the temperature and energy saving. Most part of the electric energy is self-produced through a photovoltaic supply system. Waste water is treated with aerobes purifiers, facilitating ventilation and oxygenation of the micro-bacteria and of the muds too, which are their nutrition.
