Montesecondo - Silvio Messana

Montesecondo has been part of my family since the 1950s. On my father's side, I come from three generations of winemakers in Tunisia and olive growers in Libya.
After spending several years in New York as a musician, I returned to Tuscany with my family to settle in Montesecondo.

I am convinced of the value of my land and I believe in the importance of balanced and respectful viticulture.

The production area is in the northwest Chianti Classico region, in the municipality of San Casciano in Val di Pesa. I manage two vineyards: one of 6 hectares, located 500 meters above sea level, characterized by marl soils that offer excellent drainage. The second vineyard, 12 hectares, located 150 meters above sea level, is composed of clay, sand, and river stone. The Montesecondo vineyards have been certified organic (since 2004) and practice biodynamic production.

All fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts, and the harvest is manual. The only additives to the musts or wines are sulfites, which are added before bottling when necessary and in very limited quantities.

Tastings take place in a large private kitchen, an authentic and lived-in setting, not only dedicated to events but also serving as a daily living space for the company's staff. You can book tastings online through our website or by clicking the link below.
