The Story

'Rupestro' grapes are grown on 25 - 45 year old vines in Groppolo, a 100 - 120 meter altitude South facing hill above Sarzana. With silty, sandy clay rich in structure and a steady microclimate, this excellent portion of the hill produces all of the grapes that make up ' Rupestro'.

About Il Monticello

Brand Story

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.
