From this winery
  • Start up year: 1982
  • Oenologist: Angela Fronti
  • Bottles produced: 120.000
  • Hectares: 27
The winery is relatively young and is owned by the Fronti family, whose origins are proudly peasants. In 1959 Bruno Fronti creates a service business in agriculture, which grows successfully thanks to the collaboration with his sons Fabio and Stefano. Agrichianti is today one of the most established companies in earthmoving, vineyard and green management. After many years in the viticutural business, in 1982 the family buys its first hectares of land, where they plant their vineyards. Today we own about 20 hectares of vineyards, mainly in the municipal area of Radda in Chianti, but also in Gaiole in Chianti. These vineyards are not in a single plot, but in separate parcels.e aspiration of the separate vinification of Sangiovese, depending on the vineyard of origin, thus obtaining different wines depending only on the characteristics of that specific vineyard, such as exposure, soil and altitude.

With the introduction of the second generation into the company, it is natural to start our own production in the bottle. The 2009 harvest and the first 3000 bottles of Chianti Classico concretely represent what has always been the great passion for wine, thus integrating and completing the family business.

The commitment for the future is to evolve and grow, while remaining faithful to the traditions and to our territory, trying to enhance as much as possible what nature is offering us and the viticultural peculiarities of the highest lands of the Chianti region.

We are certified organic since 2016. We believe in respect for nature, for the people working in the vineyard and for those who taste the wine in the glass.
