Visiting the Legendary Tuscan Vineyards of Castello di Montepo: Where the Biondi Santi Legacy Lives

Join me, Kirby Allison, and my trusted companion Michele Calzolari as we continue our journey through Tuscany, exploring the rich heritage of Italian winemaking. Today, we have the privilege of visiting the historic winery of the Biondi Santi family at the stunning Castello di Montepò—a name synonymous with the creation of Brunello di Montalcino, one of the most celebrated wines in the world.

Sixth and seventh-generation winemakers, Jacopo and Tancredi Biondi Santi, graciously guide us through their family’s extraordinary legacy, sharing insights into the meticulous craftsmanship and time-honored traditions that have shaped their iconic wines since the late 1800s.

This unforgettable visit concludes in the winery’s breathtaking great room, where we savor of of the family's most important vintages, while discussing the Bondi Santi's family legacy—a moment that truly embodies the pursuit of quality, craftsmanship, and tradition.
