The Fanti Estate has been a cherished family-owned winery since 1800. In the early 1970s, Filippo Fanti transformed the estate from a sharecropping operation into a dedicated winery, marking a pivotal moment in its history. Today, Filippo and his daughter Elisa meticulously oversee every aspect of wine production, ensuring that each bottle reflects their family's passion and commitment to quality.
Spanning approximately 200 hectares, the estate features 50 hectares of specialized vineyards, 40 hectares of olive groves with over 7,000 olive trees, and 50 hectares of sown crops, alongside lush woodlands. The vineyards are nestled in an amphitheater of south-facing hills in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, near the historic Abbey of Sant’Antimo. Additional vineyards cascade down from the fortified village of Castelnuovo dell’Abate into the picturesque Orcia Valley.
In recent years, Tenuta Fanti has significantly expanded its vineyards, growing from 8 hectares in the 1980s to over 50 hectares today. The estate produces a variety of wines, including Sant’Antimo DOC, Rosso di Montalcino DOC, and Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. New Sangiovese vineyards have been established, alongside experimental plantings of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah for reds, as well as Vermentino, Trebbiano, Malvasia, Viognier, and San Colombano for whites. The family has also been producing extra virgin olive oil for over 200 years, with main varieties including Olivastra, Moraiolo, Correggiolo, and Leccino.

Write a reviewOur weekend in Val d'Orcia began here, a stunning estate located in the middle of the hills and vineyards of Montalcino, it was the first time I participated in a tasting, a gift from my children for my birthday, a unique experience, a superlative location, visits to the perfect cellar, with Carolina, a very kind and competent guide, who then entrusted us to Nazario, our guide in the tastings, friendly, competent and very good. In a beautiful room, at a table in front of the window and a breathtaking view, Nazario guided us in a tasting of oils and wines, each one better than the other, to finish with their Brunello and their Vinsanto, dense and full-bodied, with Tuscan bread perfect for oil and a platter of various cold cuts and cheeses, a real delight for the eyes and above all for the palate. Everything was perfect, my first tasting was truly incredible, certainly supported by oils and wines that leave you speechless........perfect and very adequate quality-price ratio, but that's another story.......it was a birthday present for me from my children......so they thought of it...... and the choice was truly unique and fantastic.........thanks then to Livia and Seba for their unforgettable gift and thanks to Tenuta Fanti and all its perfect staff, who made my birthday stay in Val D'Orcia unforgettable!!!!!!!

We went here for a tasting and a visit to the winery and it was a dream! The location is a real spectacle, the staff is very friendly and super helpful and the products, well, what can I say?! Between oil, wine and typical dishes everything was perfect. At the tasting we had a certain amount of wines (I don't remember now how many), but in the end they let us try them all without charging us a euro more. I still dream of pici and ribollita!! Obviously we stocked up on oil and wines, but we will definitely be back. I highly recommend this experience!

5 stars doesn't do this place, its beauty and hospitality justice. We did a tour of the winery and tasting of olive oil and 4 exceptional wines (plus surprise 😍) and stayed for a few more hours enjoying the wines and the scenery. Carolina was so knowledge, welcoming and took us on a beautiful journey to learn about the history of the place, the wine making process, differences in vintages and wine tasting notes. I would do it again in a heart beat. Brunello Vallocchio stole my heart. Can't recommend this place enough.
