The production history of Castello di Monsanto began from the Poggio vineyard, way back in 1962, with the first harvest of Fabrizio Bianchi, the founder. Even today, the company's symbolic bottle, the first Chianti Classico to bear the mention of a single vineyard on the label, sees the disappearance of the white grapes from its composition in 1968. All the Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo plants come from the Poggio, through mass selection which today populate the company vineyards. The over 100,000 bottles that rest in the historic cellar of the castle from the first harvest to today testify to the extraordinary aging capacity of this wine.
