Aminta
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Tenuta Aminta located and in what part of Montalcino does it produce?
Aminta is located on the southeastern side of the Montalcino appellation, with about 6 hectares of vineyard at the foot of Monte Amiata, which ensures a favorable climate and natural climatic protection for the estate.
Who founded Tenuta Aminta? What group does it belong to?
Aminta is the latest estate acquired, in 2018, by the Cecchi family, a historic Tuscan winery founded in 1893 and now led by Andrea Cecchi, who with this project extends the family's holdings (including Villa Rosa, Villa Cerna, Val delle Rose and Tenuta Alzatura) into Montalcino.
What wines does Tenuta Aminta produce? Where does its name come from?
Aminta produces a Brunello di Montalcino and a Rosso di Montalcino. The name comes from merging 'Anita', Andrea Cecchi's mother, and 'Amiata', the mountain overlooking the estate, with a literary nod to Torquato Tasso's Aminta, whose fountain recalls the thermal spring that runs along the edge of the estate's woodland.
