A contemporary winery where architecture and winemaking exist in perfect harmony.
The Winery
Cantina di Montalcino is located about 35km from Siena, right opposite the Sienese hilltop town of the same name, surrounded by meadows, olive trees and the beautiful vineyards of the Val di Cava, along the extraordinary Eroica route.
steel tanks
The first step in the winemaking process
Here, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at approximately 24°C (75°F). Carefully controlled temperatures and regular pump-overs allow for the gradual extraction of colour, aromas, and structure, laying the foundation for the wine’s character.
wine cellar
Ten metres below ground, the wine rests in an environment designed to maintain ideal natural levels of temperature and humidity.
Here, large oak casks accompany Brunello through the longest stage of its evolution, allowing it to mature slowly and develop balance, complexity, and elegance over time.
A Timeless Journey
Our Story
Founded in 1970 by a small group of local producers, it established itself as the only cooperative winery in the area.
The original winery building was redesigned and rebuilt starting in 2000.
Without traditional architectural forms and elements, and with its proportions rendering it well anchored to the ground, via its curvy contours and its colors the winery sits in an attractive, symbiotic relationship with its surrounding hilly landscape.
The current architectural design, inaugurated in 2011, recalls the typical character of the Tuscan hills.
Its unique architectural design is both imposing and modern while recalling the traditions, forms and perceptions related to the historical processes involved in the production of Brunello di Montalcino wines.
The winery joined the Toscana Wine Architecture circuit, which brings together the region’s 14 signature and design wineries.
Cantina di Montalcino becomes the property of Prosit Group.
The Bologna-based group initiated a new project for Cantina di Montalcino, collaborating with historic winemaking families linked to the winery, representing some 90 hectares planted with Sangiovese.
Today, Cantina di Montalcino is a winery that receives grapes from approximately 40 hectares of vineyards cultivated by 20 local winegrowers dedicated to Sangiovese production.
The grapes come from all 4 quadrants of the Montalcino municipality, each characterized by distinct soil and climatic conditions, thus ensuring the highest quality of the final product.
