Castello Tricerchi

Castello Tricerchi extends over 400 hectares on the northern slopes of Montalcino. 13 hectares are vineyards dedicated to the cultivation of Sangiovese Grosso, the vines which produce Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino. The composition of the soil, containing limestone clay and sand, is rich and even. The cultivation methods are based on organic principles.

The Castle of the Tricerchi family, completed in 1441, dominates the property and is now the home and headquarters of the Tricerchis’ direct ancestors, the Squarcia family. The construction constituted an important bastion for the pilgrims who went to Rome along the Via Francigena, now the headquarters of the Brunello di Montalcino production. Its covers 6000 m2 and is a typical example of a medieval castle with a fortified keep. The cellars are located inside the castle, in what were once dungeons.
