From Medieval Foundations to Modern Brilliance
Monteraponi’s story is rooted in a rich history that dates back to the 10th century. Originally a medieval village under the stewardship of Count Ugo, it was later gifted to the Abbey of Poggio Martori. Today, the estate’s well-preserved medieval structures, including a tower with classic 12th-century windows, serve as a testament to its storied past. The winemaking traditions are deeply embedded in the estate, with fermentation occurring in traditional concrete vats and aging in large oak barrels from Austria and Burgundy. Under the guidance of Michele Braganti, Monteraponi has embraced an organic philosophy, producing Chianti Classico wines and other delicacies with the utmost respect for the land and traditional practices.
