Over the years we have come to realize that Montenidoli's wines need time to give their best. We are offering:
Whites
Vernaccia
- Fiore 2007
- Tradizionale 2007
- Carato 2005
These are the wines recognized by the 2010 editions of the Italian wine guides, which are now beginning to come into their own.
Vinbrusco 2005
San Gimignano's traditional white wine, made from Trebbiano e Malvasia, which are only now beginning to reveal their complexities.
Il Templare 2003
From an extraordinarily hot, difficult vintage, a testament to the quality of Montenidoli's white wines. An excellent cheese wine, of which only a few bottles remain.
Il Templare 1999
For impassioned wine lovers, an extraordinarily fresh, powerful white.
Rosés
Canaiuolo 2007 and Canaiuolo 2006
We still have a few bottles of these vintages, the freshness and youth of whose bouquets confirm the longevity of Montenidoli's rosés.
Reds
Il Chianti Montenidoli 2006
From red grapes, this is a classic steak wine.
Sono Montenidoli 2001
Sangiovese in purezza, a great red for special occasions.
