At Fattoria di Montemaggio, the harvest in Tuscany is more than just the busiest time of the year — it is the moment when the essence of our philosophy comes alive. Nestled in the rolling hills of Chianti Classico, our estate has always followed the rhythms of nature, producing organic wines that reflect the purity and authenticity of this land.
🌿 A Year in the Vineyard
The harvest is not a single event but the result of an entire year of dedication. From winter pruning to summer sun, every step prepares the vines for this crucial moment. At Montemaggio, we follow certified organic methods, which means caring for the soil, protecting biodiversity, and allowing the grapes to grow in harmony with nature.
🍇 Hand-Picked Grapes for Authentic Quality
One of the defining elements of Montemaggio is that we harvest entirely by hand. This allows us to carefully select only the best clusters, ensuring healthy, high-quality grapes. Hand-picking is not just about precision; it is about preserving a tradition that connects us to the generations who worked these same vineyards before us.
✨ The Unique Charm of the Rosé Harvest
Among all harvests, one stands out with a special magic: the Rosé wine harvest. Grapes destined for Rosé are picked slightly earlier, capturing a perfect balance between acidity and freshness. The gentle pressing and short contact with the skins give the wine its delicate pink hue, reminiscent of Tuscan sunsets. Our Montemaggio Rosé embodies elegance, liveliness, and the joy of summer evenings.
🥂 More Than Wine: A Human Experience
For Montemaggio, harvest is about more than producing wine. It is a celebration of community: laughter shared among harvesters, stories exchanged between rows of vines, and the collective effort that transforms fruit into something truly extraordinary. Every bottle of Montemaggio carries this spirit — the warmth of the sun, the scent of the earth, and the passion of everyone who took part.
