Rich History Since 1949

Azienda Agricola Montaioncino is nestled in the picturesque region of Empoli, Florence, where four rivers—Elsa, Pesa, Arno, and Orme—flow through the landscape. The estate's history began in 1949 when Quinto, the owner’s grandfather, purchased the land and began cultivating vines alongside his son Duilio. The family has maintained a tradition of crafting unique, handcrafted wines using artisanal methods passed down through generations.

Favorable Natural Conditions

This area, once inhabited by Romans, benefits from a climate influenced by the surrounding rivers, resulting in fertile soil rich in clay and minerals. Montaioncino spans 6 hectares, with 4.5 hectares dedicated to vineyards and 1.5 hectares to olive groves. Today, Duilio’s son, Mauro Cartechini, manages the estate with his wife Daniela and their daughters, Sara, Irene, and Arianna. The estate cultivates a variety of grapes, including Malvasia, Canaiolo, Merlot, Sangiovese, and Trebbiano, which are used to produce red, white, and rosé wines.

Renowned for Chianti DOCG Wines

The winery is celebrated for its Chianti DOCG wines, particularly the Chianti Riserva DOCG, which has received numerous awards for its exceptional taste and structure. The grapes are meticulously handpicked and processed using advanced technology to ensure high-quality production. In addition to Chianti Riserva, Montaioncino also produces Fifth IGT, Rose Montaioncino, Empolese White, and Vin Santo DOC. Visitors are welcome to enjoy wine tastings and guided tours of the estate, providing a chance to learn more about the winemaking process and the family’s rich heritage.

Basic campsite, but amazing views! Owner is also amazingly lovely. Tents are also very welcome! Facilities are very basic but clean. and it feels like you're on someone's wine property, but that makes it even more comfy and nice. Not great places for tents, but still worth 5 stars for atmosphere, kindness and the view.

More and better Tuscany is impossible. La Mamma and her cooking skills alone are worth the stay. The view is fantastic, the pitches are top-notch, there is enough electricity (!), and the sanitary facilities are absolutely fine. Tip: Make sure you book dinner with wine tasting. It's amazing!

What a wonderful place! Very small campsite, sanitary facilities are a bit old but cleaned daily so very hygienic. We had dinner with two people, 3 courses with 4-5 glasses of wine each, it was delicious! For 50 euros in total it is really amazing that this is still possible. It is clear that the lady does not do it for profit. Super friendly woman, if I am ever in the area I will definitely come back here. I think the wine is made by her husband and it was delicious. The view while we were eating was beautiful. Definitely recommended!

Unfortunately we hadn't booked in advance, but we were able to park in front of the gate and had a fantastic view over the olive trees. It's wonderfully quiet here. Everything is very old, but we would still stop here again. The Nonna (grandmother) is delightful! She cooked for us in the evenings and served us delicious wine. But what I liked best was her great love for her granddaughter ❤️. This is pure Italy.

Great place in the middle of vineyards and olive trees in the Tuscan hills... very friendly owner (she doesn't speak English but it was fun to interpret) and very helpful, possibility to have dinner for 20€ (starter and wine included). Services not new but present and working. I wouldn't be put off by the rustic look of the building, because the hospitality and services are very well maintained.

This place is an italian dream come true! The owners are absolutely friendly and gave us a warm welcome before serving a delicious dinner accompanied by homemade wine. The landscape is absolutely gorgeous and the view stunning. I cannot agree on some comments about the poor toilets. Toilets are clean, showers are spacious, toilet paper is offered. One should be aware that this is an italian farmhouse so I won‘t expect a Kempinsky infrastructure. But what you get is pure tuscan hospitality, original food and an italian mamma with a huge heart. We will definitely come back here!
