Massimo Santini follows the footsteps of his father Franco. In the cellar he vinifies and prepares the wines with care and preserving attention, convinced that there is no significant achievement without commitment and perseverance. Our mission? To enhance Tuscan and Italian indigenous grape varieties, with moderate percentages of international varieties, in order to obtain distinctive, typical, supple and silky wines. All this is possible thanks to the wineyards divided into various plots with different hillside exposure, which gives the grapes unique and complex texture.
Our Chianti takes center stage in our cellar, with his ruby-red color and intense aroma.
We produce oil and wine with the aim of preserving the original flavor from Vinci intact.
Our oil is genuine and it comes from at least 3 typical tuscan varieties of olives, privately grown on our hills.
Handpicked Moraiolo, Leccino, and Frantoio olives.
Tenuta Santini's oil is clear, with a beautiful bright green color. Its aroma is fragrant, fruity, and with a delicate, slightly spicy flavor.
Olives are handpicked and then squeezed within 48 hours from the harvest. Cold pressing, produced by a mechanical process at a temperature below 27 ºC, is carried out in full respect of the olive fruit. This allows us to avoid alterations and maintain the quality characteristics of the oil itself!
The wines we produce have unique sensory characteristics, able to satisfy several palates. The skillful blend of red wines, each with specific characteristics, gives life to a complex and complete wine. In addition to Chianti, other structured reds stand out, along with a white, a rosé, and a traditional and unique Vin Santo.
