The Castello Tricerchi is one of the oldest and most historic wine-producing castles in Tuscany. The castle was built in the thirteenth century on the Via Francigena near Montalcino by the Altesi and completed in 1441 by the Tricerchi. It covers 6000 m² and is a typical example of a medieval castle with a fortified keep, decorated with motifs attributed to Baldassarre Peruzzi, a famous artist of the period.

The Castello Tricerchi extends over 400 hectares on the northern slopes of Montalcino. 13 hectares are dedicated to the cultivation of Sangiovese Grosso, the vines that produce Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino. In the historic cellars of Castello Tricerchi, Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino are aged in oak barrels.
