Hello From the Owner 

We are thrilled that you have chosen Montemaggio or just browsing - looking to learn something new about Organic Agriculture and our Hand Made Wine. Please watch this short video from our owner:

 

How it is made?

Its name is derived from the 14th century tower that once stood above the old Roman road between Siena and Florence. The colour is intense and ruby, when it comes to the taste is quite elegant but rich with a delicate bouquet, full of berry notes. The full flavour and balanced acidity is highly esteemed abroad as well.

The reason why Torre was produced initially here at the Fattoria di Montemaggio is to minimize the quantity of Merlot that we include in our Chianti Classico range as well as to be able to offer a more modern alternative to our Traditional Chianti Wines. This pure Merlot however is very different from the Merlots that you are used to and we often call it Merlot di Sangiovese. In fact  it has the same freshness and minerality as Sangiovese. Both wines take these unique characteristics from the terroir of course and are perfect examples of “Terroir” wines.

 

Something More

We Follow a careful selection of the best Merlot grapes towards the end of September, fermentation takes place for long time at a controlled temperature (not higher than 26°C) in stainless steel and wooden vats. The Malolactic fermentation undergoes in stainless steel vats. When it comes to the Maturationthis kind of process will follows in barrels mainly from second passage and partially in tonneaux (5 Hl).

The current vintage of Torre di Montemaggio is 2016.

This wine was recommended to me by a good friend and sommelier. I was disappointed. It arrived beautiful presented in a black box and I knew I was going to try it that evening. It looked too good to resist. After a few hours of chilling in the fridge, I opened the bottle with the glass cork (a first for me) and poured the first glass. The wine looked lovely and light in the glass and I could already tell it was going to be crisp. But nothing prepared me for the incredible flavours, the delicious freshness of honey and butter. Some white wines can be overly tangy but not this one. It was so big in flavour yet delicate at the same time. You can't go wrong with this bottle and it's a bargain at £20. The only disappointment is when you've finished drinking and you doubt have another bottle of this fantastic wine in your house!

I have rarely enjoyed Chardonnay (probably because it was cheap!). Normally they taste like they have added oak as a flavour using a syringe and some oak juice (or something). I don't normally drink whites, but this was very pleasant indeed - the ladies also commented on how nice it was. Crisp but not too acidic. Smooth but not artificially so. A very nice wine to accompany our fish dish today - and actually very nice to drink on its own. It wasn't sunny (this is the UK) but it would have been even nicer had it been so! Thanks.

I wouldn't normally associate Chardonnay with Italy but this is a really stand out wine. Pale golden in the glass with a nose of tropical fruits. It's got a really good mouthfeel and you get honey and cream as it goes down. Let it breathe a little and there's hints of banana too. This really is top wine and it measures up very well against it's more expensive rivals Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet. Delivery was swift and the wine was very well packaged too. I'm definitely going to buy this again!!!!!!

Bought as a birthday gift in September 2020. My best friend loved it. The glass stopper was a great talking point, so I bought a second bottle as a Christmas gift for someone. Very happy with this and highly recommend.
