Podere Monastero

The Podere Monastero winery is located in Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of Tuscany, at an altitude of about 500 metres. It was founded in 2000 by the owner and oenologist Alessandro Cellai with the sole objective of producing a great Pinot Noir. A far from easy challenge for which it was necessary to carefully study the soils and even more so the clones and rootstocks. A very long research work carried out among the most prestigious nurserymen in France. Today, the vineyard surface area is 3 hectares, of which only 1.5 are destined for Pinot Noir. The remaining 1.5 are intended for Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Merlot (50%).
