Carefully selected 'Groppolo' grapes are grown on 5 - 30 year old vines, on a South-Southwest hillside above Sarzana at an altitude between 100 - 120 meters above sea level. Silty, sandy, structured clay and a Mediterranean microclimate without significant temperature variation, producing evenly ripened high quality grapes.
The Azienda Agricola Il Monticello was founded in 1982 when Pier Luigi Neri, inherited a 19th-century house and a plot of land on the hills towering Sarzana, just in front of the sea. In 1994 the sons, Alessandro and Davide, intense appreciation and commitment to respect & regenerate the truly unique Ligurian microclimate, introduced their father's 12 hectares of vineyards to organic and biodynamic farming. "Il vino è passione". Wine is passion. Serve the land & nourish it naturally. No use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides & herbicides on soil and plants.
