Notes on the Producer
In Tuscany, it is said that the fragrances and flavors of the vineyard drift up to meet the moon on cool summer nights giving Chianti it’s uniqueness and character. Alessandro Nieri’s 55 hectars of vineyards have been passed down since 1895. It is here in Fucecchio that he mindfully attends the vineyards as his father did before him and allows nature and the mystic of Tuscany to do the rest.
The villa at Fattoria Montellori is heavenly. Meticulous museum quality gardens touched with art in an array of different mediums from metals to rock to topiary; perfecting the art of nature in both the garden and the vineyard. While the traditional grapes of the region are cultivated with love, some non traditional grapes have gained popularity at the farm as well. It is here that Alessandro Nieri mixes time honored Tuscan grapes with dash of classic French- giving their wines an added dimension that is cleverly stunning in good measure.
