The fount of relax
Fonte de' Medici is an old village dating back to the
fifteenth century, located in the heart of Chianti Classico and immersed in the
vineyards owned by the Antinori family, winemakers for 26 generations over the
past 600 years, who produce in this area some of their most iconic and renowned
wines: Tignanello and Solaia. The village takes its name from a fresh water
spring which once served as a resting spot for pilgrims on their way from
Florence to Rome. The nearby Badia a Passignano was a powerful Vallombrosian
monastery at the time and bears witness to the historic importance of this
area.
The proximity of both Florence and Siena, the beauty
of the Chianti countryside, the excellence of local food and wine, the refined
decor and the utmost care to hospitality; all this makes Fonte de’ Medici a
unique place.
