In the slopes and plateaus that unite the plain of Ombrone on the slopes of Mount Amiata, excellence has found climate and fair crops. Careful and competent winegrowers produce extraordinarily perfumed grapes. The Montecucco DOCG takes its name from a town with a great history located in the heart of the Cinigiano territory. Montecucco was already mentioned in 1100 when the Camaldolese Monks referred to the quality of the land and the production of "Vino Bono" in unique places, manned by the Castles of Colle Massari, Vicarello, Castiglione del Torto, Porrona and the Torre di Scudellano. Cinigiano’s lands, located between Val d'Orcia and the Amiata, offered the Sangiovese grapes and other varieties, special humus that gave the grapes intense flavours and priceless wines.
