In one of the most fascinating and suitable areas of the Chianti Classico territory, near the hamlet of Monti in Chianti, about 7 km south of Gaiole in Chianti, is the Rocca di Montegrossi company of Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi, descendant of the family who wrote the history of the territory and of Chianti Classico wine.
The cellar is located near the Romanesque parish church of San Marcellino. The total extension of the company is equal to 100 hectares, of which 20 are planted with vineyards, 20 with olive groves and the rest with forest. The vineyards, all on hilly terrain with gentle slopes, of limestone origin, of medium texture and with exposure to the south and south-east, are located at an altitude between 340 and 510 meters above sea level
The cultivated vines are those typical of the Chianti area, to which a small percentage of native varieties has been added. The most represented variety is Sangiovese with 13 hectares, followed by Merlot with 2.5 hectares while Canaiolo, Colorino, Pugnitello, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malvasia Bianca del Chianti have a total of 4.5 hectares.
The vines and olive trees have been organically grown since 2006 (certified since 2010), and the entire company is oriented towards respecting the environment.
