Experience description
This company boasts 120 years of traditions. In 1895, Giuseppe Nieri purchased the Villa and the vineyards of Fattoria Montellori. Relying on the relevant profits made by trading leather, he later decided to invest in agriculture. Between the 80s and 90s, this family brought important innovations to the sector, such as experimenting with grapes like the Viognier and producing a Spumante Metodo Classico Millesimato.
Today, Alessandro Nieri leads this company: visit its wonderful Villa and gardens, admire natural works of art made up of plants and flowers, listen to the history of the family and visit the historic winemaking and aging cellars.
