Tenuta Fanti

What Tenuta Fanti does

Tenuta Fanti is a family-owned wine estate located in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, Montalcino (Siena), Italy, operated under the legal entity Fanti Elisa e Elena s.s. Società Agricola. The Fanti family has held the 200-hectare property since the early 1800s; Filippo Fanti converted it from a traditional sharecropping (mezzadria) farm into a dedicated viticultural estate in the 1970s and released the first commercial vintage of Brunello di Montalcino Fanti in 1980. The estate comprises 50 hectares of vineyards (approximately 15 hectares dedicated to Rosso di Montalcino) planted on volcanic-origin soils rich in galestro and alberese at 150-430m altitude, 30 hectares of olive groves with 8,000 olive plants, and surrounding woodlands. A modern winery was constructed in 2004, and the estate has completed a transition to full organic agriculture after 10 years of AgriQualità certification.
