Originally, the cellar of the Tassi company was set up inside the historic family building used for the production of honey, the company’s first major artisan product.
The cellar was completed in 2019 and the spaces were designed according to the wine making and refinement process.
The cellar is entirely built in laminated wood and has been built on two levels to fill the tulipe tanks with concrete by gravity, without using pumps. The temperature inside the room adjusts itself thanks to a ditch that runs along the entire perimeter.
Fabio Tassi is an entrepreneur who has elevated the dining and wine tasting experiences in the city of Montalcino.
Tassi winery has multiple single vineyard designations of Brunello di Montalcino. You can experience all their wines in their modern tasting room which gives you an epic experience with their world class wines.
The Tassi company finds its roots in the figure of Guido Franci, founder of the family. Guido, born is Greppo in 1910, has worked as a sharecropper for the Biondi Santi fam since he was a boy. He was taking care of the vineyards, the estate and the various activities of the farm. Between 1950 and 1960, after experimenting with different activities including bird breading, he decided to devote himself full time to beekeeping, which has always been his great passion, founding the Franci company.
As the family business grows, the tassi and franci family companies get national recognition for the production of quality honey around the area.
At the beginning of the 90s, Fabio Tassi, son of Franca Franci and Giuseppe Tassi, who for years has already taken the reins of the family business, renovates the premises used for the direct sale of honey and inaugurates the Drogheria Franci shop specialized in sales of wines and quality products of the territory, improving it over the years to become, as it is today, one of the most established restaurants in the area.
Driven by the love for Montalcino and its land, inherited from his grandfather Guido, and aware of the need for continuous entrepreneurial innovation, in the following years Fabio began to manage the historic Enoteca located inside the Fortezza di Montalcino.
