Montesecondo

Montesecondo aims to make Chianti Classico as a direct expression of living soil, grape and season. Silvio Messana works organically and biodynamically and intervenes little in the cellar, allowing Sangiovese to retain its natural energy and digestibility. The estate does not seek a standardised style, but wines with tension, transparency and a recognisable connection to San Casciano.

The estate is located near San Casciano in Val di Pesa and mainly produces Sangiovese within Chianti Classico, alongside country wines from local and international varieties. Montesecondo is certified organic and Demeter. Traditional wooden casks are combined with experiments in amphora and cement. The different bottlings show both classic appellation wine and freer interpretations of individual grapes and plots.
