Tenuta Bonomonte di Guidotti Gina

About Winery and Wines

Gently rolling hills, the outlines of cypresses, vineyards, olive groves, woods and farmhouses create a landscape rich in emotions and undertones that you can easily appreciate. The Bonomonte Estate is a reality where past and present melt together, where respect for tradition and innovation characterize our way of thinking and acting and therefore our way of working, producing, and living …it is a brand that was created from a tradition, the bond that unites man and vineyard to their territory, a strategic and unique path, with the objective to endow the vines with a personality and elegance that has made Tuscany world famous! In the heart of Chianti Classico, land of ancient wine tradition, the Bonomonte Estate rises. In 1982 Armando Formichi and Gina Guidotti foresaw the great productive potential of this land and therefore created the dream of a lifetime: to manage a wine estate. Their love for the land, their passion for wine and desire to share these experiences were soon passed on to their children, Patrizia and Martino. The Formichi Family, always entrepreneurs, with attention, dedication, discretion and humility, through management and by collaborating with other professionals in the same field, began their own adventure with a single purpose: to transmit emotions.

The total expanse of the vineyards is about 40 hectares with an average altitude of 300 meters above sea level of which 37 hectares are red grapes such as Sangiovese, Lanaiolo and Colorino, and the rest are white grapes suches asTrebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Bianca. The exposure of the vines is south-south-west and south-east. The earth, of medium consistency with a tendency that runs towards clay, is normally deep and fertile. The density of the planting goes from 4,500 to 5,500 plants per hectare in a system which raises the plants on barbed wire, doubled upside-down. The average age of the vine is between one and 25 years of age
