The wine you want to select to pour at dinner or to share a bit of what's in your heart with a stranger.
100% Sangiovese
Led by winemaker and agronomist Serena Gusmeri, Montefili is a future-facing winery dedicated to realizing the bold, successful and sustainable new era of Chianti Classico. Our wines speak of the land, microclimate, geology and sustainability – the triumphs and possibilities of a hilltop outside of Panzano.
Sangiovese is in our blood. Our hilltop vineyards at 1,500 feet are the heart of Chianti Classico: a terroir and micro-climate with plentiful sunlight and refined galestro and alberese marl soils. Our future-facing sustainable approach is a bold path of confidence and patience. We only put on the vines what we’d want in our glass.
We are passionate, dynamic people with Sangiovese in our souls.
"Exquisite, deep vibrant ruby red. Luscious cherry and ripe plums on the nose, graceful and subtly savoury, very inviting. Supple and elegant on the palate, shows tightly and finely woven tannins, juicy, distinct fruit, with ample succulence and traction, and a long, precise finish."
