Riparbella Tuscany, September 10th, 2026 – Clay, limestone, sand and volcanic formations: in Riparbella, the diversity of the terroir takes shape in the wines and inspires a philosophy founded on a balance between nature and viticulture. At Caiarossa (link), wine identity begins with the land. In the hills of Riparbella, just a few kilometres from the Tyrrhenian Sea, clay, limestone, sand, gravel, iron and volcanic formations alternate across a complex landscape, further shaped by differences in altitude, exposure and ventilation. It is this diversity of conditions that gives the estate one of its defining characteristics: the ability to read the different expressions of the terroir and translate them into wines with a distinct identity.

High-Altitude Sangiovese and the Grammar of Place in Panzano
In the highest reaches of Chianti Classico, where the hills rise sharply above Panzano, Greve in Chianti, and the air thins just enough to slow the ripening of grapes, Montefili (link) stands as a high-altitude viticultural laboratory where ancient monastic terroir meets precise modern agronomy to push the absolute limits of pure Sangiovese. Vecchie Terre di Montefili (link) – for convenience, Montefili – occupies a privileged ridge between 480 and 550 metres, straddling the Panzano and Montefioralle UGAs and among the loftiest vineyard sites in the appellation. Here, Sangiovese does not shout. It speaks in precise, elegant phrases shaped by altitude, complex soils, and a philosophy that treats every parcel as a distinct individual.

Tenuta Monteti: Interpreting the Maremma of Capalbio, Parcel by Parcel
A family estate in the southern Tuscan Maremma, built on a parcel-based method, sustainability and a deep reading of the Capalbio territory.
Capalbio, June 2026 – Tenuta Monteti (link) is a wine estate in the southern Tuscan Maremma, near Capalbio. Founded in 1998 from the pioneering project of Gemma Bracco e Paolo Baratta, supported from the very beginning by consultant oenologist Carlo Ferrini, it is today run by the founders‘ daughter Eva Baratta and her husband Javier Pedrazzini. The estate covers 142 hectares, in a small valley sheltered by the Monteti hill and open to the sea breeze. Here, the 30 hectares of vineyard are worked as “30 times one hectare”: every parcel is monitored, harvested, vinified and aged separately, as part of an ongoing process of research shaped by precision, sustainability and a distinctive sense of place.

Where the Medici Vines Still Grow
Vignamaggio (link) stands as one of Chianti Classico’s most layered and historically resonant estates – a polycultural property of over 400 hectares nestled between Greve and Panzano, where winemaking has continued uninterrupted since at least 1404. Spanning roughly 65–70 hectares of active vineyard across sharply distinct micro-zones, the estate marries seven centuries of agricultural continuity with a rigorously modern commitment to organic polyculture and terroir-driven winemaking. The result is a portfolio of unusual range and coherence: from vibrant, high-altitude Sangiovese to structured international single-varietals and a benchmark Gran Selezione capable of decade-long aging.
