Molin di Sant’Antimo Winery | Carlo Vittori
So in the early 1980s Carlo Vittori, already a well-known and experienced winemaker bought his first piece of land. While located to the south of Montalcino close to the hamlet of Castelnuovo dell’Abate.
At the time Carlo Vittori was quite a pioneer because the land in this area was more or less abandoned. In addition, was farmed by just a few families who cultivated grapes and olives in the tradition of their ancestors. While it soon became apparent that the investment had been a good one. Most importantly, as the soil characteristics and the geographical conditions were excellent.
By the early 1990s, the ’Azienda Molino di Sant’Antimo’ had about 30 hectares of land. With half cultivated with olives and vines and the rest consisting of the surrounding woodland and Mediterranean bush. At the beginning of the new century, Carlo Vittori put the finishing touches on the restoration of ‘Podernuovo ai Campi. A traditional farmhouse dating from the 1800s surrounded by adult vines. This is now both the headquarters of the business and the family home.
