The Company

The  history

Born in 1937, Fattoria Castellina is a historic agricultural company immersed in the Tuscan nature on the Montalbano hills just 20 km from the city of Florence.
Its land of 110 hectares is divided into 10hectares of vineyards, 30 hectares of olive groves and 10 hectares of arable land. The remaining is characterized by oak woods, acacia, maple, pine and strawberry trees.

In 1998, driven by their great passion for the land and for nature, Fabio and Elisabetta took over the management of the farm, giving it new impetus and transforming the old barns in a cosy farmhouse and the uncultivated land in new vineyards.

In 2004 the real rebirth began, when, thanks to an accurate study path, Fattoria Castellina became a biodynamic farm and began to apply and develop the ideas and impulses given by Rudolf Steiner in 1924; the new products immediately proved the validity of the method, demonstrating balance and great vitality.

The family

For some years now the company has been run by their sons Eleonora and Francesco Montomoli, who reinforce the sense of belonging to the territory and continue the path started by their parents thus consolidating the principles of biodynamic agriculture.

Two new hectares of vineyard were made from mass selections of white Vermentino and Sangiovese and a few rows of Ciliegiolo.
The olive trees are gradually regenerating and the oil is rediscovering a new value,
the same one that is renewing in Franscesco e Eleonora the passion for their land and respect for the rhytms of nature.
