Producer Information

The winery is quite recent and owned by the Fronti family, whose origins are proudly peasant. In 1959 Bruno Fronti created an agricultural service business from scratch, which he then grew successfully thanks to the collaboration with his sons Fabio and Stefano. Agrichanti today is among the most successful companies in earthmoving, vineyard planting and greenery management. Having worked in the wine sector for many years, in 1982 the first land was purchased to plant our vineyards. Today we own almost 20 hectares of vineyards, mainly in the municipality of Radda in Chianti and also in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti. These vineyards are not grouped together, but rather in separate plots. For many years the wine produced with our grapes, except for a small part which was kept for family consumption, was sold in bulk to other wineries, until the 2009 harvest, when the first bottle with our label was finally made. With the inclusion of the second generation in the company, it is natural to start its own bottled production. The 2009 harvest and the first 3,000 bottles of Chianti Classico concretely represent what has always been the great passion for wine, thus integrating and completing the family business. The commitment for the future is to evolve and grow, while remaining faithful to traditions and our territory, trying to enhance as much as possible what nature offers us and the viticultural peculiarities of the highest areas of the Chianti region. We are certified organic since the 2016 harvest. We believe in respecting nature, the people who work in the vineyard and those who appreciate wine in the glass.
