Castello di Monsanto

The company’s most iconic bottle, Il Poggio, is the first Chianti Classico to feature the name of the specific vineyard and saw the disappearance of white grapes from the recipe in 1968.

The Castello di Monsanto Vinsanto Occhio di Pernice is crafted using traditional methods, in limited quantities with Sangiovese grapes, exclusively during the finest vintages.

An accessible example of the unique style and character of Castello di Monsanto wines. This multi-faceted wine can be enjoyed straight away or left to develop and evolve as the years roll by. It is our most widely produced wine by far, underlining our winery’s belief in Sangiovese, which acquires a strength and energy from our soil that must be patiently awaited. One of the oldest wines in Italy, it appeared on the market in the 1960s and has become an ambassador for the entire denomination around the world.
