About Winery and Wines
The Torre a Cona wine estate stands strikingly in the Florence hills, only 10 kilometres from the birthplace of the Renaissance. Owned by the Rossi di Montelera counts, the 18th-century villa dominates the surrounding Chianti vineyards and olive groves, which encircle traditional Tuscan farmhouses lovingly restored and furnished by the countess.
The philosophy of our wines is imprinted by our passion. Grape cultivation at Torre a Cona goes back far in time. The project carried out by the present ownership has rediscovered this origin and in the last decades, it has provided a new life for this activity.
About 20 hectares are dedicated to vineyards located on our estate in different positions. The altitude varies from 300 to 410 meters above sea level. The soils are of diverse composition from clay to calcareous limestone and in some areas there are some outcrops of alberese, a particular type of limestone. The varieties of grapes grown on the estate are Sangiovese, Colorino, Merlot, Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Bianca.
