The estate of Rocca di Montegrossi was established around the 7th and 8th century AD by Geremia, the ancestor of the Ricasoli-Firidolfi family. It’s located near the village of Monti in Chianti Classico (about 7km south of the larger Gaiole in Chianti). This same family owns the estate now, with Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi in charge of the 20 hectares of vines, 20 hectares of olive groves plus a beautiful section of woodland that lines the rolling Tuscan hills near the winery. The vineyards and olive groves are all farmed organically.
