OUR WINERY
Montefioralle Chianti Winery
'Azienda Agricola Montefioralle' is a small family-run chianti classico winery.
Our main production is wine in limited quantities though. Every year approximately 10.000 bottles leave our cellar. With only 2 hectars of vineyard we are one of the smallest sized winery among the consortium of chianti classico producers.
The small quantity production enables the Sieni family to take care of every little detail in order to produce high quality chianti classsico wine.
The vineyards, the winery, the cellar and the shop are all located in the small medioeval hamlet of Montefioralle, close to the town of Greve in Chianti.

The History
The origin of our winery is rooted in an idea of Renato Sieni, who made agreements in the year 1960, when he reached the age of retirement, with the local prior in order to take care of the vineyard that so far had been run by the priests of Montefioralle for centuries.
With the help of his son Fernando, Renato planted new grapevines and started the production of a chianti classico wine called 'Santo Stefano a Montefioralle'. This is how the production of chianti classico, granted by the local parish, started in Montefioralle.
When in the 90’ the church administration finally decided to give up the vineyard, the Sieni family immediately bought it. Now Fernando’s oldest daughter, Alessia, is the official owner of the estate and the winery, togheter with her brother Lorenzo and, of course, Fernando, they manage the production and commercialization of chianti classico wine and oil.
