Castello Monterinaldi

Castello di Monterinaldi is nestled in the heart of the Chianti Classico's oldest region, between Panzano and Radda in Chianti, atop a hill that, from above, resembles the shell of a turtle, near an ancient Etruscan road.
Legend has it that the origins of this historic site date back to 1010 AD, when "Count Gottifredo, of Lombard descent and lord of Monte Rinaldi," gave the place its name and laid the foundations for the Castello di Monterinaldi. Over the past thousand years, the castle has withstood numerous battles, from the medieval conflicts, notably the Battle of Montaperti in 1260, to the Second World War, losing parts of its structure and the surrounding homes.
Yet today, the Castello di Monterinaldi still stands proudly at the center of the estate, with its winemaking operations based at La Pesanella, the charming villa located at the foot of the castle.

Castello Monterinaldi is a family-owned estate that has been cultivating its own vineyards and crafting exceptional wines since 1961. But we don’t just produce any wine—at Monterinaldi, we proudly focus on perfecting Chianti Classico, the legendary wine that has made Radda in Chianti and its surrounding area famous all over the world.
We’re at the forefront of innovation in winemaking, blending cutting-edge experimentation with a deep respect for traditional methods. Our passion for fine wines and delicious food is matched only by our love for nature and our commitment to honoring its natural rhythms.
