Our vineyards

a terrace overlooking Tuscany

60 hectares of Mansalto vineyards grow in small plots surrounded by woods and fields, at an altitude perfect for modern viticulture, between 500 and 600 meters above sea level.
This location, made unique by a microclimate cooled by the contiguous woods and diverse soils rich in the Tuscan boulder, create a unique terroir that imparts minerality and all the characteristics necessary for perfect ripening of the grapes.

The philosophy

excellent quality from natural richness

Respect for nature is the basic rule at Mansalto where the aim has always been to produce wines as authentic products of a territory while keeping the typical expressions of each variety unaltered.
That is why the careful selection of the best grapes and manual harvesting is followed by a gentle touch in the cellar that does not alter the characteristics of the raw material, with appropriate technologies and a wise use of wood

In the cellar

handle with care

Passion for the land. Love for an ancient craft. Respect for the terroir, its identity, the distinctiveness of each vineyard. It is the result of constant dedication and care the wine that ages in Mansalto’s cellars, the child of grapes selected by hand, with passion and extreme care, by those who live this land, every day, and protect it, with sacrifice and dedication. An international team, which believes in quality wines and gives body to contemporary wines: this is the modern Chianti, which is distinguished by the freshness and personality of its nectars. The legacy of the transalpine experience thus becomes an expression of a renewed and strongly identifiable sensibility and taste.
