Castello di Montepò Collection

About

The Royal Roots of Tuscan Winemaking Steeped in a monumental legacy, Castello di Montepò is the majestic southern stronghold of the legendary Biondi Santi family—the undisputed creators and founding fathers of Brunello di Montalcino. Located in the wild, pristine hills of the Tuscan Maremma, this breathtaking 11th-century medieval fortress was acquired by Jacopo Biondi Santi to forge a brave new path for his family's viticultural empire. Today, spearheaded by Jacopo alongside his son Tancredi, the estate masterfully weaves centuries of strict, traditional winemaking knowledge together with the vibrant, sun-drenched, and untamed maritime terroir of Scansano. The BBS11 Clone & The Galestro-Galestric Mosaic What makes Castello di Montepò entirely unique in the coastal wine landscape is its genetic treasure trove. Jacopo brought the family's most prized asset directly from their historic Tenuta Greppo estate in Montalcino: the proprietary BBS11 ( Brunello Biondi Santi, vine number 11 ) clone of Sangiovese. The Schistous Soil Engine: Planted across 50 hectares of rolling hills, these historic vines thrive in a singular soil matrix dominated by Galestro (shaly schistous clay) mixed with high-altitude marl and stone. Maritime Energy: Sitting higher than most coastal vineyards, the estate benefits from cool mountain breezes descending from Mount Amiata, which clash with warm, dry Mediterranean winds. This produces immense diurnal shifts, locking in jaw-dropping natural acidity, vibrant mineral focus, and exceptionally thick grape skins packed with pure, age-worthy polyphenols.
