In the early 70's when
peasants left the
countryside for the town,
the Giannelli family,
instead, decided to
redevelop its small farm
I MORI which has
gradually grown since
then.
The company is situated
on the hills surrounding
Florence in the Chianti
area and its main crop
is, naturally, the vines.
This particular area,
surrounding the old
castle of Malmantile,
has always been famous
for its wonderful olive
oil.
Year after year all the
vineyards are being
renewed with an accurate
selection of the new
vines. The new cellar
for the wine-making,
aging and bottling has
been built in the year
2001. This cellar is
equipped to offer
wine-tastings to the
visitors.
In 1997 the Giannelli
family bought a new company, the
Podere Canneta, situated in
Montalcino, which produces
Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di
Montalcino and Sant’Antimo wines.
Here, in addition to the
enlargement of the vineyards, a
new cellar for the wine-making,
bottling, storing and wine
tasting has been added.
In the year 2003 the Giannelli
family expanded its agricultural
industry also in Maremma, in
Cinigiano: a region naturally
destined to the vine-growing.
The first hectares of vineyards
to be used for the production of
the DOC Montecucco have been
planted between the years 2004
and 2005. During the year 2004 a
building assigned as the cellar
for the wine-making, aging,
bottling and storing has been
bought and restored.
