Perched on a hilltop in Chianti Classico, Montefili produces high-altitude, low-intervention wines that reveal the purity and depth of Sangiovese. Its first vines, planted in 1975, are still thriving today, yielding fruit of remarkable vitality.
At the heart of Montefili is Serena Gusmeri, visionary winemaker and interpreter of nature, who joined in 2015. Serena brings a unique, deeply terroir-driven, sustainable approach to winemaking at Montefili, standing on the shoulders of the Tuscan wine greats who came before. She continues to guide the vineyards through both technological and manual interventions to enhance plant health, biodiversity, and ecosystem vitality.
Part of Italy’s first bio-district, Montefili practices organic (non-certified) viticulture and is a recognized DiversityArk company, giving more back to the land than it takes.
