Description

Madonnino della Pieve, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, is made from pure Sangiovese grapes grown in the vineyard Madonnino that extends in front of the Pieve di Santa Maria Novella in Castelvecchi. This vineyard, one of the oldest in Chianti, offers exceptional bunches that, skilfully managed, produce the extraordinary complexity of an unforgettable wine, also thanks to several harvesting steps if required by the vintage. Madonnino della Pieve is only produced in the best vintages.

  • Bottles produced: 80.000
  • Hectares: 24
The ancient winery is excavated under the castle, among its foundation, and it is dated, as the whole core structure, between the X and the XI century. The importance of the Fattoria di Castelvecchi also lies in its strategic location, being at the center of several ancient roads,in the very art of Tuscany, between Florence and Siena. The Castelvecchi function was chiefly defensive, for this reason it had to be fortified with strong, tough walls.

Castelvecchi was ruled by the lords of Monterinaldi for most of the XI century until, proclaimed autonomous community, it suffered, at the end of the thirteenth century, the fierce attacks of the nobles of the surroundings, attracted by the incredible richness of the Parish of Santa Maria Novella. Many parties fought widely and for a long time to get the famous fertile vineyards here cultivated.

Towards the middle of the seventeenth century, the name of the place, which was then “Castela de la Pieve”, became, after the name of the owners, first “Castel de ‘Vecchi,” then “Castelvecchi”. “De Vecchi” was the name of an ancient noble family from Montalcino who took the castle and the land around. The property passed through the centuries from de Vecchi to de Vecchi ending to the heirs of the husband of the last descendant, a Marquis Gutierrez de la Solana, Grandee of Spain, at the beginning of 1900.
