    Portrait of Giulio Tinacci

    i. Biography

    Coming Up

    Training at Politecnico di Milano gave Giulio Tinacci a disciplined, analytical frame for wine work, one that reads the cellar as a place for method as much as instinct. At Azienda Agricola Montalbino, he guides the development of the winery’s wine branch and serves as winemaker, working inside a close-scale setting where continuity matters and the tempo follows the seasons.

    Where They Are Now

    Montalbino, as Giulio Tinacci presents it, is a small family-run estate run entirely organically, with the vineyard and olive trees defining the land’s working identity. The estate depends on hands-on agricultural care and patient upkeep, and that makes the role as much custodial as technical: the winery’s identity is maintained alongside the broader life of the property.

    Signature

    Giulio Tinacci’s signature wines include Chianti Montespertoli 2019, Chianti Superiore 2018, IGT Bianco 2019, Montalbino 2019, and Montalbino Rosso. Taken together, they mark the range of his work while staying fixed to the same estate and its vocabulary. The list reflects an organic farm model and a steady, family-driven cellar practice, with the wines named plainly and the emphasis kept on consistency across seasons. The family purchased Montalbino in the 1990s and the vineyards have been farmed organically since 2008.
