Wine Description:

In 1932, seven different areas of Chianti were officially recognized, including Chianti Montalbano, and the entire Carmignano district was thus incorporated into the Chianti DOC appellation. Historical documents attest to the presence of this subzone as early as 800 AD under Frankish rule. The soils of Chianti Montalbano are moderately deep, with a geological origin dating back 70–100 million years to the Sillano Santa Fiora formation. They are rich in sedimentary rocks and argillites, with a good presence of stones.
