Montegrossoli Castle is a military structure, now reduced to ruins, located in Montegrossi, in the vicinity of Coltibuono Abbey, in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti.

The castle is located on the top of a rise in the Chianti Mountains, on the border between the provinces of Florence and Arezzo at an elevation of about 700 meters. Its strategic location made it a very important place for controlling the areas straddling the Chianti and Upper Valdarno.
