Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Castello Tricerchi

Located in the northern part of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation, Castello Tricerchi is a Tuscan wine estate with a history closely connected to its impressive medieval castle. Originally built in the 13th century by the Altesi family, the castle was completed in 1441 by the Tricerchi family, prominent members of Siena's ruling elite. It later passed through the family line to the Squarcia family, the estate's present owners and direct descendants. Recognised as part of Italy's historic and artistic heritage in 1982, the castle now serves as both the family residence and the winery headquarters.

The 400-hectare property includes 13 hectares of Sangiovese Grosso vineyards, planted across seven separate parcels at approximately 290 metres altitude. The cooler northern slopes, marked temperature differences between day and night, and soils containing limestone clay and sand provide favourable conditions for the grape variety. The vineyards are cultivated using organic principles, with traditional cordon and Guyot training systems and hand-picked harvests. In the cellar, grapes undergo fermentation with natural indigenous yeasts and prolonged skin contact before maturing in large Slavonian oak casks. The historic underground cellars maintain naturally stable temperatures throughout the year. Its wines include Brunello di Montalcino, including the prestigious A.D. 1441 selection, alongside Rosso di Montalcino and Sant'Antimo, combining traditional production methods with the individual character of the estate's vineyards.
