Montechiaro Arteliquida Bianco 2023
Arteliquida is a one-of-a-kind project that brings together art and wine to visually represent the many aspects of the world of wine while highlighting both content and artistic expression. This unique Super Tuscan white wine blends rare grape varieties, including Trebbiano, Malvasia Bianca, French Viognier, and the rare Manzoni (RieslingxPinot Bianco), connecting Tuscan heritage with the wider world. Each grape variety contributes to the wine’s unique character: Trebbiano forms the backbone, Malvasia offers body, Viognier brings perfume and roundness, and Manzoni provides the aromatic profile. The label is a reinterpretation of the traditional bottle and glass concept, with the two intertwined in a single shape that appears as both an emptying bottle and a refilling glass. Arteliquida is truly a masterpiece that blends wine and art.

The Montechiaro’ s villa was built in XVII century by Bianchi Bandinelli’ s family and later the Griccioli’s family acquired it thanks to the motherly branch. The building has an imposing dimension: the front, which overlooks the big garden, is composed of two floors decorated with frames. In the middle of the front is located the main door, set within a semicircular arch. The building conserved the same appearance from the age of Romagnoli, who painted the villa with the garden and the adjacent grove. The estate also has a small neo-classical chapel. The front of the building is defined by a tympanum and columns.
As a passionate wine producer, chef, qualified Sommelier (Wset, Ais), and photographer, Alessandro opens the doors of the ‘family owned’ Small Boutique Organic Winery in Chianti. Since 2005 he implemented a general modernisation of the traditional company structures and established the new brand Montechiaro ANNO DOMINI 345.
