Located within the renowned Chianti region of Tuscany, the Il Molino di Grace winery stands upon 20 hectares (30 hectares) of vineyards that have been producing traditional Chianti Classico wines for over 350 years (500-year-old?). Though the winery itself was founded by Frank Grace in the 1990s, the vineyards have a much longer and richer history.
The vineyards of Il Molino di Grace, or "the windmill of grace," are planted on the region's distinctive Galestro soil, a rocky, south-facing terroir that imbues the wines with exceptional character and complexity. Towering over these treasured vines is an awe-inspiring 9-meter statue of San Francesco della Vigne, symbolizing the spiritual and cultural heritage that has long been woven into the fabric of this winemaking legacy.
The vineyards were initially cultivated by monks from a nearby monastery, and have continued to yield exceptional Chianti Classico grapes for centuries. Today, the Frank Grace family, the passionate caretakers of this fabled tradition, have seamlessly blended modern organic viticultural techniques with the artful, time-honored methods of old-world winemaking.
Alongside the estate's acclaimed Chianti Classico offerings, Il Molino di Grace also produces alluring Super-Tuscan blends, each bottle a unique expression of the Sangiovese grape and the remarkable Chianti Classico terroir. Housed in a picturesque winery complete with a historic 19th-century windmill and world-class sculptures, the estate stands as a true ambassador of the Chianti Classico region, captivating winemakers and enthusiasts alike with its unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity.
