Vecchie Terre di Montefili is a lovely estate in the highlands between Panzano and Greve in the heart of Chianti Classico. Grapes have been grown for winemaking for at least 750 years on hills within the farm’s current boundary. For most of those years the monks of the nearby Badia a Passignano tended the vines.
Completely reborn under its new ownership and the team led by winemaker Serena Gusmeri, this dramatic estate lies on the Panzano/San Casciano border. One of its key distinguishing features is elevation; these vineyards at 500 meters in altitude are superbly positioned, especially for today’s changing climate.
