Tenuta di Artimino

Artimino 1596 is a perfect blend of history, territory, and a philosophy of quality, encapsulating the essence of Tenuta di Artimino. This is a land steeped in history, where viticulture dates back to ancient times. The unique soil composition and favorable microclimate create the ideal environment for wine growing, especially for the Sangiovese grape, which flourishes among the historic hills surrounding the iconic Villa La Ferdinanda, built in 1596. The winery is nestled close to the villa, the hotel, and a gourmet restaurant, where some of the region's finest wines come to life, including the renowned Chianti D.O.C.G. and the historic Carmignano D.O.C.G., a wine whose intriguing past is intricately linked to the Medici family.

Our vineyards span two historically significant territories. To one side lie the Carmignano hills, beloved by Leonardo da Vinci and the Medici family, while to the other, the Chianti Montalbano region stretches out. The Arno River runs through the heart of this area, contributing to a unique microclimate that is ideal for viticulture. The combination of mild winters, humidity, perfect vineyard exposure, nearby protective mountains, and surrounding forests fosters incredible biodiversity. Our soils, interspersed with sandstone, clay, and rich limestone, are carefully studied to determine the best grape varieties, clones, and rootstocks. Covering 70 hectares between 200 and 400 meters above sea level, our vineyards are strategically placed to ensure each variety expresses its full potential.
