Vecchie Terre di Montefili
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.

Bertinga
La Porta di Vertine 2023

Bertinga, Società Agricola Bertinga (link), is one of the more talked-about new names on the Tuscan fine wine scene. It was founded in 2015 by Anatoly Korneev and Maxim Kashirin, longtime Russian wine importers and Italians at heart who, through their company Simple (link), had spent over two decades bringing Italian wine to the Russian market before deciding to become producers themselves.

Vignamaggio
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.

Castello Fonterutoli
The Timeless Heart of Mazzei’s Chianti Classico Legacy

In the rolling hills of Tuscany’s Chianti Classico, where ancient vines whisper tales of Renaissance nobility and sun-kissed terroir crafts legends in liquid form, few wines capture the essence of tradition quite like Castello Fonterutoli (link) from Marchesi Mazzei. While its bolder sibling, Siepi, bursts onto the scene as a revolutionary Super Tuscan blend—marrying Sangiovese with Merlot in a defiant nod to international flair—Castello Fonterutoli stands as the steadfast guardian of Chianti’s soul (link). Crafted predominantly from Sangiovese grapes sourced from the same hallowed vineyards that have sustained the Mazzei family since 1435, this DOCG-certified red embodies purity, vibrancy, and an unyielding connection to terroir. It’s not just a wine; it’s a liquid chronicle of 600 years of winemaking heritage, produced at the iconic Castello di Fonterutoli estate, a 14th-century fortress that doubles as a living museum of Tuscan viticulture.

Der Supertoskaner Siepi der Tenuta Mazzei
Ein Toskanischer Klassiker

Der Siepi der Tenuta Mazzei (Link) ist einer der ikonischsten Supertoskaner-Weine.
