Castello Sonnino, nestled in the Chianti Hills just 20 km from Florence, is a historic winery with origins dating back to the 16th century. The estate, including a magnificent 16th-century palace and tower, has been family-owned for over two centuries by the Sonnino family, who are deeply committed to producing fine wines and extra virgin olive oil. The estate spans 40 hectares of vineyards, with all wines made exclusively from estate-grown grapes, reflecting the unique terroir of the region. Under the leadership of Baron Alessandro de Renzis Sonnino, the winery blends tradition with innovation, crafting wines of remarkable character. The 17th-century cellars within the castle provide an ideal environment for aging wines in wooden barrels and barriques, resulting in rich, complex flavors. Castello Sonnino is renowned for its exceptional wines, including the Chianti Montespertoli DOCG Sonnino and the San Leone IGT Toscana Merlot.
