The Montechiaro’ s villa was built in XVII century by Bianchi Bandinelli’ s family and later the Griccioli’s family acquired it thanks to the motherly branch. The building has an imposing dimension: the front, which overlooks the big garden, is composed of two floors decorated with frames. In the middle of the front is located the main door, set within a semicircular arch. The building conserved the same appearance from the age of Romagnoli, who painted the villa with the garden and the adjacent grove. The estate also has a small neo-classical chapel. The front of the building is defined by a tympanum and columns.
As a passionate wine producer, chef, qualified Sommelier (Wset, Ais), and photographer, Alessandro opens the doors of the ‘family owned’ Small Boutique Organic Winery in Chianti. Since 2005 he implemented a general modernisation of the traditional company structures and established the new brand Montechiaro ANNO DOMINI 345.
