    Cantina Gattavecchi

    June 9, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Historic winery of Montepulciano, Gattavecchi is the name of a family engaged for four generations in wine production.
    In the late 1940s, Valente Gattavecchi rebuilt, with the help of his mother Sidonia, the wine business of his grandfather Vincenzo, tragically interrupted after the bombings of 1944. With the purchase in 1958 of the Simoneschi-Baroncelli winery, which had already belonged to the fourteenth-century convent of the Servite Fathers, the Nobile Gattavecchi is placed to mature in a unique and ideal environment.
    Selected grapes, coming from the farms of Argiano, Cervognano, Le Caggiole, are vinified to produce a high level Noble Wine. We had the pleasure of sampling a few wines along with local charcuterie from the farm. The cellar was impressive, which dated back a thousand years to the etrucean times.
