The Castle of Monterinaldi settlement, in the commune of Radda in Chianti, in the heart of the oldest historical area of the Chianti Classico, is situated near an ancient Etruscan route. As regards the history of this ancient place, a document written in December 1010, refers to "Count Gottifredo Gottizio, of Lombardic descent and Lord of Monterinaldi." The castle stood until 1268, when the Sienese, following the victory of the battle of Montaperti, destroyed its boundary walls, the main tower and the three house of the castle. Due to the last destruction during the World War II, only a part of it is still standing surrounded by some ancient houses. The castle of Monterinaldi is at present the center of the homonymous farm whose wine-making activity is based at the La Pesanella, not far from the castle. The Agricola Monterinaldi, property of the Ciampi family since 1961, is one of the most modern farms in the wine testing sector. The estate extends for over 400 hectares and includes vineyards, olive groves, walnut groves, woodland and pastures. The farms and farmhouses in the area have maintained their rural appearance and are now home to the estate workers - comfortable living quarters in the splendid sunny Chianti Classico wine growing region.

Planting:
Harvesting: the grapes are picked only by hand at the end of September and during the month of October, in various stages depending on the condition and ripeness of the bunches and type of wine desired. A particular care is used during the harvest in those wineyards processed with thinning for quality improvement. Storage capacity of cellars: 13,700 Hl of which
The grapes are processed entirely in our cellar, where the wines are also stored and aged. There is a tunnel leading from the original cellar, located beneath the owner's house, into the main area where nearly all the winemaking activities take place. Loyalty to tradition is a fundamental principle at Monterinaldi. Our primary goal continues to be to offer Chianti Classico in its most traditional form. This does not, of course, preclude the use of new technologies and equipment designed to enhance quality without affecting the typical attributes of the product. Chianti Classico is aged first in barrels (both Slavonian oak barrels and small French barriques) and then refined in bottles, for a period ranging from 6 months to 2 years. The old underground cellar is particularly suitable for aging wines: a large room has been fashioned from the interior to provide ideal accommodation for 150 French barriques. Adjacent to the cellar is our "orciaia", where extra-virgin olive oil is preserved in old terracotta jars before being sold to the most demanding customers. Wines
